Python Cookbook 2nd Edition
Portable, powerful, and a breeze to use, Python is the
popular open source object-oriented programming language
used for both standalone programs and scripting
applications. It is now being used by an increasing number
of major organizations, including NASA and Google.
Updated for Python 2.4, The Python Cookbook, 2nd
Edition
offers a wealth of useful code for all Python programmers,
not just advanced practitioners. Like its predecessor, the
new edition provides solutions to problems that Python
programmers face everyday.
It now includes over 200 recipes that range from simple
tasks, such as working with dictionaries and list
comprehensions, to complex tasks, such as monitoring a
network and building a templating system. This revised
version also includes new chapters on topics such as time,
money, and metaprogramming.
Here's a list of additional topics covered:
Manipulating text
Searching and sorting
Working with files and the filesystem
Object-oriented programming
Dealing with threads and processes
System administration
Interacting with databases
Creating user interfaces
Network and web programming
Processing XML
Distributed programming
Debugging and testing
Another advantage of The Python Cookbook, 2nd Edition is its
trio of authors--three well-known Python programming
experts, who are highly visible on email lists and in
newsgroups, and speak often at Python conferences.
With scores of practical examples and pertinent background
information, The Python Cookbook, 2nd Edition is the one
source you need if you're looking to build efficient,
flexible, scalable, and well-integrated systems.
