Dear Dragoslav,
I cannot comment on Arthur Lesk's book - haven't read it.
I can really recommend two freely available tutorials on Katja
Schuerer's website:
One of them is an introduction to programming using Python:
http://www.pasteur.fr/formation/infobio/python/
The other one is a Python course in Bioinformatics:
http://www.pasteur.fr/recherche/unites/sis/formation/python/index.html
Both of them provide you with numerous examples and take you through
tips and tricks on how to address bioinformatic problems using Python
and Biopython.
I presume that you are familiar with the Biopython manual that is part
of the Biopython distribution:
http://www.biopython.org/DIST/docs/tutorial/Tutorial.html
Hope this helps,
Best wishes,
Achim

Dear friends,
I do not come from bioinformatics background, so can anybody
recommend some introducing book about bioinformatics so I can
cover the basics.
Of course there are a lot of python programming in biopython that is
out of biology (like parsing of database files, connect to databases),
but
to get clear picture it is good to read some introducing book.
Is book
"Introduction to Bioinformatics" by Arthur Lesk
good one ?
Kind regards
