Drawing on his extensive recentexperience leading Python training sessions and boot camps, Beazley hasreorganized this book for even greater ease-of-use, and offers even morepractical code examples that address the issues working programmers are mostlikely to encounter.Beazley begins with a carefully distilled and exceptionally readable introductionto the language, then presents authoritative reference content on every standardPython library module. In this edition, he also previews the anticipated,radically new Python 3 (a.k.a. Python 3000), which will break backwardcompatibilitywith Python 2.x.
