Python Tutorial
Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python's elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas on most platforms. This tutorial introduces the reader informally to the basic concepts and features of the Python language and system. It helps to have a Python interpreter handy for hands-on experience, but all examples are self-contained, so the tutorial can be read off-line as well. This tutorial does not attempt to be comprehensive and cover every single feature. Instead, it introduces many of Python's most noteworthy features, and will give you a good idea of the language's flavor and style. After reading it, you will be able to read and write Python modules and programs.

Python Web Programming
Python Web Programming is a practical introduction to building networked systems in the object-oriented framework of the Python language. It shows how to leverage the powerful Python libraries to build systems with less programming effort and easier maintenance. This book is primarily intended for experienced programmers who have used other languages (such as Perl, C or C++). It provides a high-level introduction to the language. Experience in building web-based systems is not required. Two chapters provide a concise introduction to the Python language, and there is extensive material on using the socket network API and the Python database API, as well as the many standard library modules. This practical material is underpinned by chapters which explain the technologies used. The book concludes by presenting a pure-Python web framework that can be used as the basis of the reader's own web applications.

Quick Python Book
This clear and concise introduction to the Python language is aimed at readers who are already familiar with programming in at least one other language. The core features of Python are explained first and the features that Python shares with other languages are covered quickly -- while specific Python features are explained in more detail. With large application features that are uncommon in other languages, Python can greatly enhance the programming process. Also the python language's ability to be compiled into Java bytecode and to be extended with C or C++ makes it well suited for Web site construction and Internet related applications. The material on these processes has been contributed by professionals who make their living using Python in this way. The Python core language reference that concludes the book has been designed to get new Python users to an advanced level of programming. On-line author support available to book purchasers.

Teach Yourself Python in 24 Hours
Sams Teach Yourself Python in 24 Hours presents 24 hands-on, one-hour lessons that guide you through all the steps needed to learn the Python programming language. The lessons begin with basic Python syntax and language features, and move up through object oriented design and programming. The book ends with a series of chapters covering GUI programming (using Tkinter), Python as a system administration tool, and Python as a programming language for CGI applications. In the crowded field of scripting languages, Python has found a niche as the best tool for learning object-oriented design principles. Several elegantly produced books in the past few years, notably David M. Beazley's thorough Python Essential Reference and John E. Grayson's durable Python and Tkinter Programming, have established a foundation of documentation that makes Python a buildable platform for rapid prototyping, as well as good programming practice.
