Reviews for Python Bible

1. Ideal if you have experience of other languages

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, August 12th, 2002

   This book is ideal for people who have programmed in other programming languages.

   It starts with a section entitled "Python in an Hour", which takes you through all of the key concepts of Python, before moving on to a complete reference of the Python language. The remaining chapters run through just about everything you could want to do with the language, from the basics such as strings, file I/O and regular expressions through to databases, XML and graphics.

   I decided to learn Python by rewriting my old Perl and shell scripts, and this book contained everything I needed to know.

   I strongly recommend this book, and the Python language to any programmers.
