Python in a Nutshell
In the tradition of O'Reilly's "In a Nutshell" series, this book offers Python programmers one place to look when they need help remembering or deciphering the syntax of this open source language and its many modules. This comprehensive reference guide makes it easy to look up all the most frequently needed information--not just about the Python language itself, but also the most frequently used parts of the standard library and the most important third-party extensions. Python in a Nutshell focuses on Python 2.2 (and all its point releases), currently the most stable and widespread Python release. This book includes: A fast-paced tutorial on the syntax of the Python language itself; An explanation of object-oriented programming in Python, covering both the classic and new-style object models; Coverage of other core topics, including exceptions, modules, strings, and regular expressions; A quick reference for Python's built-in types.

Python Library Reference
Full documentation of the Python programming language standard library. Python Library Reference is a manual that documents Python's standard library, as well as many optional library modules, which may or may not be available, depending on whether the underlying platform supports them and on the configuration choices made at compile time. The reference also documents the standard types of the language and its built-in functions and exceptions, many of which are not or incompletely documented in the Reference Manual. This volume is designed to be a handy desktop companion, saving you the time and expense of printing the documentation yourself. It is also useful when viewing the online version of the Python documentation is inconvenient. Written by the creator of the Python language. Documents the standard types of the language and its built-in functions and exceptions.

Python Programming on Win 32
Despite Python's increasing popularity on Windows, Python Programming on Win32 is the first book to demonstrate how to use it as a serious Windows development and administration tool. Unlike scripting on Unix, Windows scripting involves integrating a number of components, such as COM or the various mail and database APIs, with the Win32 programming interface. While experienced Windows C++ programmers can find their way through the various objects, most people need some guidance, and this book is it. It addresses all the basic technologies for common integration tasks on Windows, explaining both the Windows issues and the Python code you need to glue things together. Topics include: The Python language and the PythonWin extensions; Building a GUI with COM; Distributing the application; Client-side COM for output and data access; Integration with mail and other internet protocols; Manging users and drives. Managing processes and services.

Python Programming Patterns
Python isn't just a tool for creating short Web scripts and simple prototypes: its advantages are equally compelling in large-scale development. In Python Programming Patterns, Thomas Christopher shows developers the best ways to write large programs with Python, introducing powerful design patterns that deliver unprecedented levels of robustness, scalability, and reuse. Christopher teaches both the Python programming language and how to "program in the large" with Python, using objects, modularization, toolkits, frameworks, and other powerful tools and techniques. 20+ proven object-oriented patterns for large-scale Python development: creational, structural, and behavioral. Leverage the skills you've mastered in other object-oriented languages. Design Python systems for maximum reuse. Make the most of persistence, concurrent programming, functional programming, and metaprogramming. Create cleaner, more comprehensible software systems.

Python Programming with Java Class
This tutorial begins with coverage of some of the basics of Python programming. Using plenty of skill-building exercises and interactive programming sessions, the book will help those new to programming develop an understanding of concepts and practical techniques. For experienced programmers, the book demonstrates Python's breadth of capabilities and shows the ways that Python interfaces with the Java APIs for professional application development.Python Programming with the Java Class Libraries: A Tutorial for Building Web and Enterprise Applications covers important topics such as: Fundamental programming concepts, including statements, expressions, interpreters, and compilers; Python basics, including operators, string formatting, namespaces, classes, errors, and exceptions; Object-oriented programming concepts; File input/output; Python's intrinsic functions; Formatting, parsing, and manipulating strings; Interfacing with the Java APIs.

Python Reference Manual
Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for rapid application development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed. This reference manual describes the syntax and core semantics'' of the language. It is terse, but attempts to be exact and complete. Topics include: python lexical analysis; tokens, identifiers, and keywords; python data model.

Python Standard Library
Python imports its most useful applications from the Python Standard Library, a collection of commonly used procedures that can be pasted into a Python script rather than written from scratch. Successful Python programmers rely heavily on the Standard Library, and this book illuminates its capabilities with more than 300 real-world example scripts, based on the author's work with 2500 answers from the Python newsgroup. A reference work for Python programmers interested in a resource filled with time-saving modules that perform common programming tasks. Topics include: Introduction to the Python 2.0 standard modules; Core modules (including modules for operating system functions, string, math, time, and garbage collection); File and directory modules; Encryption and security modules; Threads, processes, pipes, and signals in Python; Persisting Python objects (marshalling and pickling objects); Python modules for XML, HTML, and SGML.
