It isn't a introduction to the Python language like "Learning Python",
it doesn't work as reference like "Python in a Nutshell", it doesn't
contain short idiomatic code like "Python Cookbook". What you are left
with is different application domains and how to apply Python to them.
The book is excellent if you want to do Network, GUI, Databases, etc.
but poor if you want to learn about Python the core language. The
title of the book should be changed from "Programming Python" to
"Applied Python"
Hi,
I appreciate you taking the time to post. I agree with what you say.
I guess what appeals to me is the nearly encyclopedic nature of the
book .. and I am curious about scripting with python, so it seems to
have some good material on it (though I think there are newer modules
now available for this).
It's good to hear what others think about this book, and others too.
Cheers,
Esmail
