Thanks J for your reply, much appreciated :)

Oops, vague OP, my bad.

Agreed, Google turns up myriad of topical books, and ESR's guide to
smart questions [1] helps set the pace of list culture. I subscribe to
various list servers, on one of them we gracefully accept that a
question like my OP is looking for opinion on a matter, which I now
understand would be a list's sub-culture?

Anyways, to rephrase, could someone kindly mention any of their
preferred Python books, websites, tutorials etc to help me get to an
intermediate/advanced level? Something that would help me add
functionality to Ubiquity, say.

Have a great day!
