Re: UNIX and Perl to the Rescue --like book for Python?

(Edit: As requested, posting here instead of my scratchpad)

On the somewhat charitable assumption that no trolling was intended, here's some Python FAQs for Perlmonks (well, they're more IQA than anything). Please feel free to refer folks as required.

Python FAQs for Perlmonks

(With few exceptions that also involve Perl) Perlmonks is not the place for Python questions.

There is no direct Python equivalent to Perlmonks.

Google Is Your Friend.

The best location for general Python-related questions is either python-list, aka USENET's comp.lang.python (for basic-advanced questions), the python-tutor mailing list for novice questions, or reddit's learnpython.

No, Really. Google Is Your Friend.

(Personally) the best book for someone coming from another language is the Python Cookbook. It's totally different from the Perl Cookbook, though.

The very moribund PLEAC translates much of the Perl Cookbook v1's code into various languages, including Python.

There's lots of other resources. Try python.org. Don't try the NSFW python.com.

The actual questions are left as an exercise for the reader...

Cheers, -T.
