thx again..

i got PyGreSQL(pyPgSQL gave me error ImportError: No module named libpq)
i looked at 
>>>help(pgdb)
that was about all docs i could get including from web

python looks really clean(<->perl), and requires a lot less coding(<->java)
so i'm trying to learn python..
compared to other languages such as java/perl
it seems like it's really hard to find docs about python..
should i buy bunch of books? such as python cookbook?
thank you

by the way

my last question about java was..
is this form below also available in java?
---------------------------
cursor.execute("insert into history (col1, col1, col3) values (%s, %s, %s)",
>                  (self.url, self.title, self.firsttime))
---------------------------

and..also
first-time is integer type..
strings are title/url only
