PyCon 2011: Interview with Zed Shaw

I use Python at work, and since I do I tend to not use it at home on my personal projects. That makes sure there's no conflict of interest with my employer. It also keeps me sane so that I don't get into a rut with my ideas.

These days I'm going with C and Lua. For example, I'm starting this project:

For fun with Lua and wxWidgets, and my latest websites are all Mongrel2 and Lua based with:

But, for teaching total beginners to programming I'm finding Python is the best so far.

LPTHW is a good goal for beginners but what about the intermediate ones? I know how to code but when I see mongrel2 or any other opensource code I have no clue how to start integrating them. There may be others like me so when are you planning to write a not-so-advanced-book/tutorial for the intermediate coder who can recognize a pointer from his function.
