Also worth checking out is Martin C. Brown's Python Annotated Archives:
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0072121041/qid=1069252646/sr=1-12/ref=sr_1_12/002-1717347-1412057?v=glance&s=books>

Not everyone likes it, but it is guided tour through the complete source
code for a number of Python applications, many of them right out of the
standard library.  If you like learning that way you may find it quite
helpful.  I have.
