Well, from what you've done (TinyList), I'd say at this point it depends on
where you want to go. It's obvious you should get an advanced book. The
ones that come to mind are:
NOTE: Just as I finished typing this, I read DMan's response. I worked
from the assumption you wanted a Python book.
Programming Python
This is the standard Python "bible". It seems like it would be a
good place to go for someone who isn't trying to learn the langauge, but
someone trying to learn what to do with it. This sounds like you. I don't
have the 2nd Ed., but it seems to be a favorite
Python Essential Reference (Second Edition)
I have the first Ed.,and I love it. If you want a language ref,
this would be the way to go. It seems that someone who already knows how
to use the language (you), but wanting to take it to the next level, a
language ref is very useful. I'm still pretty basic with my Python
knowledge, but I find this ref extremely helpful. "How do I...?"
On the financial note, you might want to try Bruce Eckel's Thinking in
Python <http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIPython>. It's free, and I've read
and heard nothing but rave reviews of his Thinking in Java/C++ books. It's
not complete, but it's designed for the intermediate/advanced Pythonista.
Just my 2 Gold pieces,
