Covers Python 2.4
A python is a muscular snake that kills its prey by squeezing it to the point of suffocation. But the Python Pocket Reference is not a book about snakes. This is a book about Python, the language, which is one of the most elegant, muscular, and widely used scripting languages available these days. With this book, you'll be the one doing the squeezing, as you apply the power of Python to boost the productivity of your programming work.
And speaking of squeezing, that's exactly what expert Python programmer Mark Lutz has done by condensing a ton o important reference information into the Python Pocket Reference. In this small but esential book, you'll find syntax for all Python statements, descriptions of built-in types and operators, call specifications for built-in functions and methods, and much, much more. Updated to cover the latest developments in Python 2.4, this is a handy and concise reference you won't want to be without.
Excellent little reference, but that is it.
You won't learn Python from this book, but that is not the intention. Neither will you find an extensive standard library reference, but that is still not the intention.
It is a very good Python Reference book that fits nicely in the pocket, with good, short explanations and a good index. Complements the authors other Python books perfectly.
