That's a good question... it's been a while and I don't use too many
reference books anymore. I have an outdated copy
of "Python Essential Reference" (covering 2.1) from when there weren't
that many Python books -- which I don't remember
what opinion I had of it :)
There is a large list at:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonBooks
If you search that for "free" you will find a few online versions.
I will say that for Cobbler, we don't use anything beyond Python 2.3
features, so something does not neccessarily have to be current.
That is, you don't need to be concerned with features in Python 2.4
through 2.6 because we can't use them (because we still support EL 4).
If others have recommendations, please share.
Hope that helps,
