Hi Eric Q1. Are you looking live classes or tutors? Q2 ..Or are you looking for self-teaching course material, such as book+CD +web + video? Q3: What is your level? Are you a beginner? Have you done any programming, if so what ? There is very clear book+CD series on programming by Deitel. They publish one dedicated to Python: Although not intended for business, I think the series might also be suitable for you. For a single book for self-teaching Python for beginners, I don't think you can do any better. Deitel have a multimedia CD course now for Python. Perhaps that is what you are looking for.. See the Python books right at the bottom of the page http://deitel.com/books/index.html You can download sample chapters Python How to Program (With CD-ROM) by Harvey M. Deitel, Paul J. Deitel, B. A. Wiedermann, Jonathan P. Liperi ISBN: 0130923613 [published 2002] or from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0130923613/104-1198719-6481569 ..and here is the new multimedia CD course based on that book: The Complete Python Training Course ISBN: 013063765 [published 2002] Includes Python How to Program and the Python Multimedia Cyber Classroom (interactive CD ROM) http://vig.prenhall.com/catalog/academic/product/1,4096,0130673757,00.html The Deitel books seem very expensive, but are much better value than most computer books. They are very well written, with very clear steps to build skills and understanding. There are other excellent Python books. But the Deitel series is unique because the writers run a full time training business. They know how to pace topics and structure the material for classroom. That means good notes throughout, short description of key points and principles, end of chapter summary, exercises [with answers]. All Python examples are color highlighted which makes it much easier to follow the code. The books are tightly structured with many numbered sub-sections, supported by a strong index at the back to help find things. I don't have the Deitel Python book, but I have another one in the same series titled: "Internet & World Wide Web: How to Program". Besides covering a huge amount, it starts with the absolute basics, and never assumes one knows anything. But it never talks down and moves along very quickly. I also like it because it introduces several languages and offers parallel examples in them: Python, Perl, PHP, JavaScript, ASP, Java. Great use of color: illustrations [diagrams, screenshots] and color type thoughout. Recommended. hope this helps good luck ./Jason
