By?Alex Martelli, Anna Martelli Ravenscroft, David Ascher
Second Edition March 2005
Pages: 844 (More details)

Book description

Like its predecessor, the new edition offers a collection of solutions to problems that Python programmers face everyday. Updated for Python 2.4, it now includes over 200 recipes that range from simple tasks, such as working with dictionaries and list comprehensions, to complex tasks, such as monitoring a network and building a templating system.
Full Description

Portable, powerful, and a breeze to use, Python is the popular open source object-oriented programming language used for both standalone programs and scripting applications. It is now being used by an increasing number of major organizations, including NASA and Google. Updated for Python 2.4, The Python Cookbook, 2nd Edition offers a wealth of useful code for all Python programmers, not just advanced practitioners. Like its predecessor, the new edition provides solutions to problems that Python programmers face everyday. It now includes over 200 recipes that range from simple tasks, such as working with dictionaries and list comprehensions, to complex tasks, such as monitoring a network and building a templating system. This revised version also includes new chapters on topics such as time, money, and metaprogramming. Here's a list of additional topics covered:

Manipulating text
Searching and sorting
Working with files and the filesystem
Object-oriented programming
Dealing with threads and processes
System administration
Interacting with databases
Creating user interfaces
Network and web programming
Processing XML
Distributed programming
Debugging and testing

Another advantage of The Python Cookbook, 2nd Edition is its trio of authors--three well-known Python programming experts, who are highly visible on email lists and in newsgroups, and speak often at Python conferences. With scores of practical examples and pertinent background information, The Python Cookbook, 2nd Edition is the one source you need if you're looking to build efficient, flexible, scalable, and well-integrated systems.

"Lots of tasty recipes in Python. If you're just getting started learning Python, some of the examples will be quite puzzling, but unlike Java books where a lot of the sample code is almost like Graffiti foisted on unsuspecting students by programmers who should know better, the examples in this book are so elegantly crafted that getting familiar with them will only help. It's an added bonus that a lot of them are actually practical and quite reusable."
-- Peter Knaggs, Peninsula Linux Users Group (PenLUG)

"For the beginning Python programmer this is an excellent book to help step up a level. For the intermediate programmer the scope of topic areas provides a fast introduction to new areas. Truth be told, this is a book we can recommend to Python programmers at every level. An essential buy."
--TechBookReport.com, June 2005

"In cooking, the beauty of a recipe is you get to spice up the dish however you like it or modify it to use whatever ingredients you happen to have on hand. The procedure is exactly the same with the recipes in the Python Cookbook: the user is not only encouraged but expected to modify the solution to fit his or her own needs. These solutions are meant not as complete answers, but departure points or templates for your own use.
So although Python doesn't actually taste like chicken, this cookbook contains some truly delicious - maybe you should read that as 'very useful' - recipes for anyone who regularly works with this language. If yours is a Python shop, you need this one on the shelf somewhere!"
