DESCRIPTION:
This section will also be a series of tutorials where you will learn how to use the packages you download. Most chapters will most likely be less than 10 pages! The idea here is to get the reader up to speed on the subject, not to beat them over the head with it.. It covers the following: lamda, decorators, properties, debugging, testing, and profiling.Part FourNow things get really interesting! In part four, we will be learning how to install 3rd party libraries (i.e. packages) from the Python Package Index and other locations. The book will be split into five parts.Part OneThe first part is the beginner sectio

Great book! Robert F. Valentine IV Just an all around great beginner book with a lot of information for mid level coders tool. It's a book of highlights allowing you to see functionality you can further research. Very well written!. mrbillzfan said A poortly written book in my opinion!.

Matt said Some priceless information in here. I've seen and read a lot of python books and what makes this one special is the practical uses it provides. Most book give arbitrary examples with no real world application and that's frustrating for a beginner. My favorite section is the one on packaging and preparing an installer for your code, that kind of information that is tough to find on the internet is located in one nice chapter that is clear and concise, in fact it was one of the main reasons for getting the book in the first place. I knew what Michael came up with would be an approach I could trust.
