O'Reilly just posted an article I wrote, which describes the most common mistakes made by Python beginners. It's available at this direct link: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2004/02/05/learn_python.html but can also be found on O'Reilly's home page (www.oreilly.com), the O'Reilly Network page (www.oreillynet.com), and the Python resources page (python.oreilly.com). --Mark Lutz (http://www.rmi.net/~lutz)
