50 Python Resources for Beginner and Intermediate Programmers

This is the third post in our recent series for beginning Python programmers.  In the first post, I detailed a self-study time table for beginner Python programmers.  The second post then laid out learning benchmarks for the project on the basis of MIT's Introduction to Computer Science course.  Today's installment provides a categorized list of Python resources for beginner to intermediate programmers.  Add any others you've found helpful in the comments and I'll update the list.  Enjoy!
