Updated for both Python 3.4 and 2.7, this guide provides concise information on Python types and statements, special method names, built-in functions and exceptions, commonly used standard library modules, and other prominent Python tools.--From back cover.

If you've mastered Python's fundamentals, you're ready to start using it to get real work done. Programming Python will show you how, with in-depth tutorials on the language's primary application domains: system administration, GUIs, and the Web. You'll also explore how Python is used in databases, networking, front-end scripting layers, text processing, and more. This book focuses on commonly used tools and libraries to give you a comprehensive understanding of Python's many roles in practical, real-world programming. You'll learn language syntax and programming techniques in a clear and co

This third edition has been updated to reflect current best practices and the abundance of changes introduced by the latest version of the language, Python 2.5. Whether you're a novice or an advanced practitioner, you'll find this refreshed book more than lives up to its reputation. Programming Python, 3rd Edition, teaches you the right way to code. It explains Python language syntax and programming techniques in a clear and concise manner, with numerous examples that illustrate both correct usage and common idioms. By reading this comprehensive guide, you'll learn how to apply Python in real-world problem domains such as: GUI programming, Internet scripting, parallel processing, database management, networked applications. You'll also learn how to use the Python language in realistically scaled programs--concepts such as Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and code reuse are recurring side themes throughout this text

Python jest wieloparadygmatowym, wszechstronnym językiem programowania, zoptymalizowanym pod kątem efektywności pracy, czytelności kodu i jakości oprogramowania. Jego popularność rośnie, co wynika z wielości i różnorodności zastosowań oraz z tego, że jest darmowy i łatwo przenośny, można się go szybko nauczyć, a tworzenie kodu Pythona sprawia sporo przyjemności. Wszystkie te cechy dają zespołom deweloperskim strategiczną przewagę w dużych i małych projektach. Aby wykorzystać zalety Pythona, konieczne jest zdobycie solidnych podstaw tego języka, a następnie dogłębne zrozumienie bardziej zaawansowanych koncepcji i porządne ich przećwiczenie podczas pisania własnego kodu. To kompleksowy podręcznik do nauki programowania w Pythonie. Jego piąte wydanie zostało gruntownie zaktualizowane i rozbudowane o dodatkowe treści. Omówiono tu najnowsze wersje Pythona w liniach 3.X i 2.X, czyli 3.3 i 2.7, i dodano opisy nowych lub rozszerzonych mechanizmów, takich jak obsługa formatu JSON, moduł timeit, pakiet PyPy, metoda os.popen, generatory, rekurencje, słabe referencje, atrybuty i metody mro , iter , super, slots , metaklasy, deskryptory, funkcja random, pakiet Sphinx i wiele innych. W książce znalazło się mnóstwo ćwiczeń, quizów, pomocnych ilustracji oraz przykładów kodu. Jest to kompendium dla każdego, kto chce szybko zacząć programować w Pythonie i tworzyć wydajny kod o wysokiej jakości. W tej książce przedstawiono między innymi: -składnię Pythona i koncepcje związane z iteracjami -dokładny opis ważniejszych wbudowanych typów obiektów i ich możliwości -struktury programistyczne wyższego poziomu -programowanie funkcyjne i programowanie zorientowane obiektowo -zaawansowane zagadnienia dla profesjonalistów Już dziś zacznij pisać znakomity kod w Pythonie!
