Just got to know about this new Python book published by Addison-Wesley Professional:
The Python Standard Library By Example: by Doug Hellmann:
http://www.doughellmann.com/books/byexample/index.html
Excerpt about the book:
[ The Python Standard Library contains hundreds of modules that provide tools for interacting with the operating system, interpreter, and Internet—all of them tested and ready to be used to jump-start the development of your applications. This book presents examples demonstrating how to use the most commonly used features of the modules that give Python its "batteries included" slogan, taken from the popular Python Module of the Week (PyMOTW) blog series. ]
Doug Hellmann is a veteran Pythonista and the Communications Director of the Python Software Foundation, and is also heavily involved in Python in many other ways. I've read many of his blog posts from the PyMOTW series, and they are good.
The above web page has:
- a description of the book, and who the target audience is - the intermediate Python programmer - but even if you are a newbie Python programmer but experienced in other language(s), you can probably derive a lot of value from both the blog series and the book
- a link to a free PDF containing the table of contents, foreword, introduction, index, and chapter 2 ("Data Structures") from the final version of the manuscript
- a link to a free e-book containing the table of contents, foreword, introduction, index, and chapter 1 ("Text"), available through the iTunes book store
