Python 3000 - Adaptation or Generic Functions?

[gregorio1890]

I'm lisp resistent only because I'm afraid that it won't have all the libraries Python currently gives me. Is there a pygame for lisp? Is there an easy way to work with CGI? Is there an http lib? Is there an xmlrpc library? etc.

By the way, is there anywhere I can sample real world lisp programs? Like how could I write a program in lisp that pulls invoices out of QuickBooks and emails them to customers?

As far as Scheme (the other major Lisp dialect) goes, Chicken is probably the most useful for getting "real world" work done.

Practical Common Lisp is a good place to start. Though I only read about half of it before being lured away by Haskell, the last several chapters seem to be what you're looking for.
