I'm learning Python just to expand the number of languages I can noodle in - any hints or tips - good websites etc?

I did that one - it's a good course. I'm thinking of enrolling on his more advanced courses. Python is an easy language to learn the basics, but I want to take it to quite a high level, so I'm looking for something a bit more exacting.

Are there any guides about comparing it to languages you already know? Sometimes that's useful. 'Python for c programmers' or whatever.
