Thanks everyone for all of the recommendations. I like to recommend a single, dead-tree book for students who need the comfort of that. Between Safari and various web sites, there are obviously plenty of online resources for the other students. Like many/most people on the list, I just use the online docs plus a little Googling. (Somewhere along the way, I quit using the printed version of the 1.0 docs I have in my office.) So, if there was one "killer book" for intermediate-to-advanced Python, I wouldn't even know it.<br>

Is this just an Intro to Python class, or is there a special emphasis?</blockquote><div><br>It is a first class in Python, but not intro programming. I have yet to define any special emphasis (I just signed up to teach the class yesterday), other than the desire to expand their Java-based minds. I'm leaning towards ending up with Django/GAE as a "practical" use of Python, beyond the mind-expansion.<br>
