I attended PyCamp this past June.  It's grueling, but quite good.  And
very cheap.  Ironically, it's mostly helped my Java programming at
work because I've done very little Python at home as I intended to.  I
came from Bash and Pascal so I've always thought you should check
input types before you used them, but Python and Java prefer to throw
exceptions and deal with that sort of thing after the fact.  I'd never
got my head around that until PyCamp.  I'd recommend PyCamp if you can
wait until June - but check with Chris Calloway that he'll be coming
back to Toronto.
