[Tutor] Book with extensive examples of string, list, and os modules ?

[Rob Andrews]

For ready access to code examples, I recommend the following. They 
aren't books, but online resources:

Python Cookbook:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/

Useless Python (still in reconstruction, but quite handy):
http://uselesspython.com

Vaults of Parnassus:
http://www.vex.net/parnassus/

Tutor List Archives:
