[Tutor] Learning Python ...Books

[Stephen Farthing]

Hi everyone,

I am going to learn both Python and Ruby so I can see what suits me best. My
ultimate aim is to do some open source cross platform development for my ham
radio and robotics hobbies. One of the key requirements is to be able to
control hardware, via USB, using a GUI.

 I am an old school programmer - PL/1, Cobol, RTL/2, Algol 60 and I
currently use C to program microcontrollers. I like Jackson Structured
Programming (the other Michael Jackson) and am not up to speed with Object
Orientation.  I also learn stuff best from books.

What I was wondering is if there is a Python equivalent to "The C
Programming language" by Kernighan and Richie which is the best text on
programming i have ever read.

Thanks in advance,

Steve
