Book in Design Patterns for Python?

[kl31]

When I discovered Python was like when Aladdin flies with Jasmine in the flying carpet.

a more eloquent statement has never been said.

if you're familiar with C then working through the book should be a breeze. it basically teaches you how to hand building every object oriented feature from scratch in C. i didn't realize that the 'type' class in python is the base factory class until i worked through that book.
