As one relatively new Python fan to another, I recommend following
this newsgroup.  Many important aspects of Python that several books
failed to drive through my skull are very clearly (and repeatedly)
explained here.  Hang around for a week, paying attention to posts
with subjects like "Error in Python subscripts" (made-up example),
and curse me if you don't find it greatly rewarding.
