I like the sound of all that, but golly!* $74.00 !! and no Amazon
discount to boot!
I have too many Python books I haven't finished yet to go spending bucks
like that (Python Web Programming, Quick Python Book).
Speaking of which, I like the Quick Python Book a lot, since it is very
simply written, contains a lot of example code (but not needlessly long
samples), and assumes that you already know another language
(appropriate for me, not for every Python beginner). But it's a little
old -- I picked up David Beazley's Python Essential Reference for Python
2.x, in hopes that this would clear up any changes to the new Python.
Was this a safe assumption?
