Python for Bash scripters

I've been doing bash scripts for a while and wanted to start actual programming, so I chose Python.

Are there any guides that make learning python easier if you know bash?

Re: Python for Bash scripters

Googling "python for bash" finds this

I've had to teach a lot of python to students.  My favorite intro is Byte of Python.  Chances are, you have python 2.6 installed on your computer, so that would be the appropriate version to read.

Re: Python for Bash scripters

I've downloaded some python books from Torrent, but the truth is the most actual information/documentation that you can read, is here:
http://www.python.org/doc/

You can see python 3.1.1 now smile

Re: Python for Bash scripters

I used, and still do use, The Python Phrasebook by Brad Dayley. I find it handy for when I forget how to do something simple. hmm It is a fairly simple book and as others have mentioned, the online python docs are very nice. The library reference in particuar.
