python

Hi,

I have been teaching myself python and have a few questions:
1. Does anyone know of a good book on classes, the try statement and the more advanced things in python? 
2. What is the best way of handling command line arguments?
So far I have been doing:

import sys
for i in sys.argv[1:]:
    if i == "-b":
        do something
    elif i == "whatever":
        do something else.

Sorry if my indenting is wrong, no braille here.
But just using a loop to go through the argvs, check what it is and do a certain thing. 
Is there a cleaner/easier way than this?
3. Where is the best place to learn apis such as gtk and any I may need to know for linux programming and general python stuff? 4. Does anyone know of a book that could teach me the more advanced things as wells as review the basics in python? (I have a reasonable understanding of python...) 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
