What a great tool.  i printed off the entire Library handbook (500+ pages) 
and never regretted it.  I got the "learning Python" book from O'Reilly.  
Those two resources + web searching got me going pretty fast.  I did some 
Unix protocol UDP stuff and some pretty ugly bit mapped data structures to 
make a traffic generator.  I can reconfigure it by changing the logic faster 
than I could change control parameters on traffic simulators I've used in the 
past.

The string processing is very nice.  The types and operators have lots of 
similarities to STL containers and algorithms.

I need to do a web app pretty soon to create .conf files from forms and 
pull-downs.  I'm gonna try hard to use Python if ti makes sense.
