Programming Python
Programming Python, 2nd Edition, focuses on advanced uses of the Python programming / scripting language, which has evolved from an emerging language of interest primarily to pioneers, to a widely accepted tool that traditional programmers use for real day-to-day development tasks. With Python, you can do almost anything you can do with C++; but Python is an interpreted language designed for rapid application development and deployment. Among other things, Python supports object-oriented programming; a remarkably simple, readable, and maintainable syntax; integration with C components; and a vast collection of pre-coded interfaces and utilities. Programming Python, 2nd Edition, is the most comprehensive resource for advanced Python programmers available today. Topics include: Text and string handling; C integration with Python (including the SWIG module); Embedding Python calls within C; GUI examples; Layout options; Event handling.

Programming With Python
Programming with Python is filled with practical applications and code to help you get up to speed with this innovative programming language. Browse the "recipes" of scripts and create programs faster and with less hassle. The included CD-ROM contains the Python code, programs, and the text of the book. Before you know it, you will have cross-platform program interfaces, a search engine for your Web site, and more programs than you would have thought possible. Includes information on Python statements and data structures, and over 40 tested scripts for querying search engines, performing statistical analysis, and provides information on how experienced Pythoneers approach their problems when writing scripts. This majority of this book contains many examples of code and are meant to give you an idea of how to program. It isn't written in a way where it explains every detail step by step and much of the explanation is left out.

Python
Python is an interpreted, open-source, object-oriented programming language. It's also free and runs portably on Windows, Mac OS, Unix, and other operating systems. Python can be used for all manner of programming tasks, from CGI scripts to full-fledged applications. It is gaining popularity among programmers in part because it is easier to read (and hence, debug) than most other programming languages, and it's generally simpler to install, learn, and use. Its line structure forces consistent indentation. Its syntax and semantics make it suitable for simple scripts and large programs. Its flexible data structures and dynamic typing allow you to get a lot done in a few lines. To learn it, you'll need is some basic programming experience and a copy of Python: Visual QuickStart Guide. Author Chris Fehily starts with the basics - expressions, statements, numbers, strings - then moves on to lists, dictionaries, functions, and modules.

Python & XML
Python & XML gives you a solid foundation for using these two languages together. Loaded with practical examples, this new volume highlights common application tasks, so that you can learn by doing. The book starts with the basics then quickly progresses to complex topics, like transforming XML with XSLT, querying XML with XPath, and working with XML dialects and validation. It also explores the more advanced issues: using Python with SOAP and distributed web services, and using Python to create scalable streams between distributed applications (like databases and web servers). The book provides effective practical applications, while referencing many of the tools involved in XML processing and Python, and highlights cross-platform issues along with tasks relevant to enterprise computing. You will find ample coverage of XML flow analysis and details on ways in which you can transport XML through your network.

Python 2.1 Bible
The Python 2.1 Bible provides the only complete Python language reference on the market and includes all the information and software that developers need to use Python as a rapid application development tool. The Python 2.1 Bible fills a critical void in the Python reference market. Although it includes a complete Python language reference section, it is still geared towards those of you who already have some programming experience. This book explains each piece of technology in depth and shows through clear examples why each feature is useful. This is the manual you've been waiting for -- the one that covers all major Python components without glossing over how the various pieces fit together. Comprehensive resource offering complete instruction on how to use Python 2.1 to create Web-compatible applications that can parse XML and handle Internet data. Also shows how to work with data types, expressions, and object-oriented features.

Python and Tkinter Programming
This guide shows experienced Python programmers how to add graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to their applications, featuring fully functional examples with code annotations. Topics include panels and machines, drawing blobs and rubber lines, graphs and charts, debugging applications, and threads and asynchronous techniques. A concluding reference section lists classes, methods, and options. Books on graphical user interfaces (GUI) have an unfair advantage over typical computer books. Their contents have immediate positive impact on everything they touch, from the popularity of the underlying language to the careers of the developers they reach. Even mediocre GUI books have a beneficial impact. Nearly half of the book is dedicated to Tk widget implementations and constitutes a translation of Tk into Python. Grayson presents cross-platform issues with maturity and candor. Provides a real-world code that does real work.
