Completely revised and improved, the second edition of
Programming Python is an excellent compendium of material
geared toward the more knowledgeable Python developer. It
includes dozens of reusable scripts for common scripting
tasks, and is one of the best available sources of
information for this popular object-oriented scripting
language. In over 1,200 pages of material, this book
offers an extremely comprehensive guide to Python
development. Though his book is densely packed with
information, Mark Lutz is a lively and witty writer whose
focus is on getting things done using the natural
strengths of the Python language. To that end, after an
introduction and history of the language, the book shows
how to use Python for performing automated tasks with
files and directories (for example, for doing backups
both locally and on Web servers). Not only will this book
teach you more about Python, but it will also give you a
library of code that you can use as is or adapt for your
own projects.
