Learning Python
Learning Python is an introduction to the increasingly popular Python programming language. Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented scripting language. Python is growing in popularity because: It is available on all important platforms: Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Linux, all major UNIX platforms, MacOS, and even the BeOS; It is open-source software, copyrighted but freely available for use, even in commercial applications; Its clean object-oriented interface makes it a valuable prototyping tool for C++ programmers; It works well with all popular windowing toolkits, including MFC, Tk, Mac, X11, and Motif. This book starts with a thorough introduction to the elements of Python: types, operators, statements, classes, functions, modules, and exceptions. By reading the first part of the book, the reader will be able to understand and construct programs in the Python language. All the examples use the Python interpreter.

Making Use of Python
A step-by-step guide on how to use Python for CGI scripting, GUI development, network programming, and much more! Organizations such as NASA, Hewlett-Packard, and Xerox have already discovered the power that Python has to offer. This multipurpose development language can be used on virtually every platform, from Windows and Linux to OS/2 and Amiga. With its unique task-oriented approach, this book explores the language basics and then describes how to quickly begin using it for development work. Rashi Gupta first explains why Python is arguably the most sophisticated of the popular scripting languages and why its popularity continues to grow. She uncovers all of Python's unique features, detailing its built-in support for critical development steps, including data structures, dynamic typing, and dynamic building. Gupta then discusses how to use Python in lieu of Java or C++ when developing cross-platform applications.

Perl to Python Migration
Are you a Perl programmer who would like to be able to programme in Python? Brimming with a wealth of practical examples and resources this book will show you how. The first section will show you the basic layout and approach of the two languages whilst the second section moves on to the specific differences of using Python data types and objects over Perl variables. The book then moves on to look at the core technologies behind the Python language, including the exception system for handling errors, the class and object orientation system for creating new classes and instances and how to split your program into functions and modules for easier management. All of these basics are treated with respect to people's existing understanding and skills in Perl programming and how they can be leveraged in Python. The last section of the book then looks at specific areas of programming, data manipulation, network communicated, and web programming.

Practical Python
"Practical Python" offers a highly useful guide to the Python programming language. In disarmingly readable prose, author Magnus Lie Hetland guides readers through those concepts of most importance to the budding Python developer. Following a succinct overview of the installation process, Hetland brings the reader up to speed regarding the general programming precepts common to every high-level language, including datatypes, conditionals and looping, abstractions, and modularity. Notably, Hetland takes great care to provide a thorough introduction to Python's potentially confusing datatype offering, including lists, tuples, and dictionaries, providing numerous examples aimed towards familiarizing the reader with their subtle, yet important differences. Primed with the language's foundational knowledge, readers are then introduced to Python's file-handling, database, GUI, and string-handling capabilities.
