Product Description
Question any Python aficionado and you’ll hear that Python programmers have it all: an elegant language that offers object-oriented programming support, a readable, maintainable syntax, integration with C components, and an enormous collection of precoded standard library and extension modules. Moreover, Python is simple to learn but powerful enough to take on the most ambitious programming challenges. But what Python programmers have lacked is one concise and clear reference resource, with the appropriate measure of guidance in how best to use Python’s fantastic power. Now Python in a Nutshell fills this need. In the tradition of O’Reilly’s “In a Nutshell” series, this book offers Python programmers one place to look when they need help remembering or deciphering the syntax of this open source language and its many modules. This comprehensive reference guide makes it simple to look up all the most frequently needed information–not just about the Python language itself, but also the most frequently used parts of the standard library and the most vital third-party extensions. Python in a Nutshell provides a solid, no-nonsense quick reference to information that programmers rely on the most. This latest addition to the best-selling “In a Nutshell” series will immediately earn its place in any Python programmer’s library.
