How about a book? From experience I can honestly say that my best Python books have a tendency to "grow legs", and I've been known to lend out my Python books to coworkers who are interested in the language. In fact, for a few of my favorites, I've bought multiple copies so I can give one to a workstudy while I have a copy on my desk. Duplicates of the good ones in an office around here isn't a bad idea. -- John
