+What Now?
+*********
+
+Reading this tutorial has probably reinforced your interest in using Python ---
+you should be eager to apply Python to solving your real-world problems. Where
+should you go to learn more?
+
+This tutorial is part of Python's documentation set.   Some other documents in
+the set are:
+
+* :ref:`library-index`:
+
+  You should browse through this manual, which gives complete (though terse)
+  reference material about types, functions, and the modules in the standard
+  library.  The standard Python distribution includes a *lot* of additional code.
+  There are modules to read Unix mailboxes, retrieve documents via HTTP, generate
+  random numbers, parse command-line options, write CGI programs, compress data,
+  and many other tasks. Skimming through the Library Reference will give you an
+  idea of what's available.
+
+* :ref:`install-index` explains how to install external modules written by other
+  Python users.
+
+* :ref:`reference-index`: A detailed explanation of Python's syntax and
+  semantics.  It's heavy reading, but is useful as a complete guide to the
+  language itself.
+
+More Python resources:
+
+* http://www.python.org:  The major Python Web site.  It contains code,
+  documentation, and pointers to Python-related pages around the Web.  This Web
+  site is mirrored in various places around the world, such as Europe, Japan, and
+  Australia; a mirror may be faster than the main site, depending on your
+  geographical location.
+
+* http://docs.python.org:  Fast access to Python's  documentation.
+
+* http://cheeseshop.python.org:  The Python Package Index, nicknamed the Cheese
+  Shop,  is an index of user-created Python modules that are available for
+  download.  Once you begin releasing code, you can register it  here so that
+  others can find it.
+
+* http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/: The Python Cookbook is a
+  sizable collection of code examples, larger modules, and useful scripts.
+  Particularly notable contributions are collected in a book also titled Python
+  Cookbook (O'Reilly & Associates, ISBN 0-596-00797-3.)
+
+For Python-related questions and problem reports, you can post to the newsgroup
+:newsgroup:`comp.lang.python`, or send them to the mailing list at
+python-list@python.org.  The newsgroup and mailing list are gatewayed, so
+messages posted to one will automatically be forwarded to the other.  There are
+around 120 postings a day (with peaks up to several hundred), asking (and
+answering) questions, suggesting new features, and announcing new modules.
+Before posting, be sure to check the list of `Frequently Asked Questions
+<http://www.python.org/doc/faq/>`_ (also called the FAQ), or look for it in the
+:file:`Misc/` directory of the Python source distribution.  Mailing list
+archives are available at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/. The FAQ answers
+many of the questions that come up again and again, and may already contain the
+solution for your problem.
