If you've mastered Python's fundamentals, you're ready to start using it to get real work done. Programming Python will show you how, with in-depth tutorials on the language's primary application domains: system administration, GUIs, and the Web. You'll also explore how Python is used in databases, networking, front-end scripting layers, text processing, and more. This book focuses on commonly used tools and libraries to give you a comprehensive understanding of Python’s many roles in practical, real-world programming.

You'll learn language syntax and programming techniques in a clear and concise manner, with lots of examples that illustrate both correct usage and common idioms. Completely updated for version 3.x, Programming Python also delves into the language as a software development tool, with many code examples scaled specifically for that purpose.

Topics include:

Quick Python tour: Build a simple demo that includes data representation, object-oriented programming, object persistence, GUIs, and website basics
System programming: Explore system interface tools and techniques for command-line scripting, processing files and folders, running programs in parallel, and more
GUI programming: Learn to use Python’s tkinter widget library
Internet programming: Access client-side network protocols and email tools, use CGI scripts, and learn website implementation techniques
More ways to apply Python: Implement data structures, parse text-based information, interface with databases, and extend and embed Python

41 customers mention content, 35 positive, 6 negative

Customers find the content of the book extremely informative and exactly what they were looking for, with one customer noting its thoroughness.

This is an excellent book. It is very well documented. However, I will add that this is /definitely/ meant as an advanced manual on Python....Read more

This is a great book. The information from the first page to the last was easy to follow and the flow of the material was easy to follow....Read more

Very good but not easy. English is not my native language, so it's not easy to understand everything at the first time.Read more

Too big with too much talk. However it is an amazing book.Read more

25 customers mention skill level, 19 positive, 6 negative

Customers appreciate the book's skill level, noting it provides a good grasp on Python fundamentals and serves as a great follow-up to beginner courses. One customer mentions it covers advanced topics, while another notes it's almost required reading for learning Python.

I learned a lot from this book. It is very detailed and explains some of the thinking behind how Python is structured....Read more

After you have read Learning Python, this is a great follow-on with tons of details, examples, and depth into how to use Phyton to its fullest extent.Read more

Great book, it's for intermediate to advanced users. I can't put it down!Read more

...Not a beginners book. This may be a 2nd or 3rd book one moves on after getting a very good baseline on how python works.Read more

5 customers mention author, 4 positive, 1 negative

Customers appreciate the author's ability to explain programming concepts well, with one customer noting they are the definitive expert on the subject.

a very good authorRead more

...The author does well with comments and explanations. Kindle formatting has been easy to read and follow.Read more

The author is awesome in explaining stuff well, so I am glad I got the book....Read more

Wow, does the author waffle on! Could have cut out two thirds of the book and made it 500 pages full of fast, concise facts....Read more

5 customers mention value for money, 4 positive, 1 negative

Customers find the book worth every penny.

Best price available, and exactly what I wanted for learning new concepts in python programming. If you need a good resource for python, this is it!Read more

I'm impressed. I'd buy it again, but I hope I don't have to (I'm not looking for v4.0 just yet, thanks). Dense and full of fun facts, etc.Read more

...for me, I love the detail and depth and variety of topics, a lot of bang for the cost. And yes he uses Windows 7, but python is portable that way....Read more

...I'm working with older versions (2.6 and 2.7) and this wasn't a useful purchase. A complete waste of money.Read more

5 customers mention variety of topics, 3 positive, 2 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the book's variety of topics, with some appreciating that it covers many areas of interest, while others find that it tries to cover too many subjects without being well organized.

This book awesome, it covers many topics I'm interested in and to the depth and degree that I need as new person to Python as I learn best by example...Read more

The book is interesting, but it trys to cover too many different subjects without being that well organized....Read more

...overview of the python language, and also manages to explain ever some of the more obscure topics using lots of clear examples....Read more

...computer-language religions and Python versions generates a lot of clutter in the learning process....Read more
