I keep a copy of "Python In A Nutshell" on my desk at all times.  Most
of my books are in great shape, but this one is ripped all to hell.
The sign of a good book.  It covers just about everything, though not
all in extreme depth.  It's a great book!

I've been writing Python for about 4 years now and over the week or so
I've caught the "I should know more about the internals" bug.   As a
result, I've been trying to trace the interpreter from the start of
the main function through user code execution.  Getting to fully
understand the C API and the actual CPython implementation is
something I wish I would have done years ago.  I'd suggest you do that
if you get the chance.
