Free Python Books

[Resonance]

This guy's python books are free and very easy to learn from. One in his series is about ciphers...

Great find! (From someone who hasn't yet learned Python, but is just waiting for an excuse...and spare time & energy)

I am a *huge* Python fan. This is the most beautiful computer language I have learned, out of maybe 100 (it happens when you get old and forget to stop learning new languages). However, I don't think Python has a place in the CipherShed fork of TrueCrypt, other than perhaps in build and test automation. I don't want to ship a Python interpreter with the standard CipherShed install. Note that I did convince my current employer to ship Python in their install, but our products have nothing to do with encryption or security. I just can't justify the security risk.
