Thanks, I've been looking for more documentation than whats on the webpage, I'm new to python and it seems so to be a rather idiosyncratic language at least compared to the other things I've done.
I started reading that book a while ago, but imo http://honors.montana.edu/~jjc/easytut/easytut/ is better (at least for people completely new to programming, for others it might be too slow)
