[Tutor] new to python...

[sean schroeder]

Hello,

I am a heavy Perl programmer and very interested in learning how to use 
Python - mainly for the following type of tasks:
		- cgi scripting
		- databases  access (mysql, oracle, postgress)
		- Reading and writing to files.

I have begun using Perl's OOP functionality, but believe that Python is 
better suited for the UML and OOPD methodologies that I have embarked on.

Last Note:  is there a Python compiler avaialable  for either Linux or NT?

So, with the above information in mind. I am looking for a resource that 
will help me easily make the transition.  More specifically I am looking for 
a PDF or book that basically shows/explains how to mvoe from Perl to Python 
as painlessly as possible.

thanks
Sean Schroeder
