Python How to Program, 1/e

This book on Python is very complete and at the time it was published was better than any other book on Python. It is still an excellent book and has more information than any other Python book on the market. I have used the book as my major reference work for several years. For non-GUI programming you will find most of your questions answered in this book. The general tips on structure and theory of programming are particularly useful for people who do not have a formal education and degree in computer science. I hope the authors will come out with a new edition that heavily covers newer GUI options including wxPython. If you are new to Python this book is your best option although there have been some changes in Python since this book was published. If you are familiar with Python it can still be a valuable resource for you. If you have a formal education in computer science and also know the peculiarities of Python then perhaps several more specialized books on particular facets of the language and its uses would be more appropriate for you. GUI programming is not covered sufficiently in this book to eliminate your need for another book focused specifically on the GUI of your choice. I anxiously await the publication of the book on the wxPython GUI which has been delayed several times and is now due by March of 2006. -- Learn from thousands of lines of code in hundreds of complete working programs!-- Covers syntax, control structures, objects, CGI, GUIs, exceptions, regular expressions, file processing, XML, DB-API, wireless programming, threads, networking, security, data structures, and much more.-- Contains hundreds of real world tips identifying good programming practices, common errors, performance optimization techniques, and debugging/reliability solutions.Python's combination of exceptional power and simplicity has made it one of the world's fastest growing programming languages. Now, there's a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to Python from the Deitels, leading corporate trainers and authors of the best selling How to Program books. Like all of the Deitels' How to Program books, Python How to Program features the Deitels' signature Live-Code "TM" Approach: thousands of lines of live code, explained with exceptional clarity by the renowned programming trainers of Deitel & Associates. Python How to Program covers all facets of the Python language, from syntax to object-oriented development, CGI to XML, wireless programming to DB-API database integration. Coverage includes Python GUI development, regular expressions, file processing, exceptions, threads, networking, security, data structures, and much more. The book contains hundreds of real-world tips and techniques for writing high quality code, improving performance and reliability, and efficient debugging.
