I was looking a second Python book in addition to "Programming Python 1". I
could not wait PP2. When I scan "Core Python Programming" through, my
impression is that "too small contents compared with the thickness of the
book". It contains about half of the contents that PP1, I think. And the
explanation is not that great. So I did not buy it. I did not read it
through. But I don't think it is worth to read.
My case, I read PP1 and using "python reference manual" as reference (as the
name says ^^). PP1 taught me how python is different from other language.
But I agree that it is not good for reference. I am waiting PP2 now. So I
can not say about it.
