Learning Python: Powerful Object-Oriented Programming

This is not a tutorial for someone who is looking to begin learning to code in Python from scratch. You either require a knowledge of the basics, or experience in another language, to get the most out of the content. Start with an online course or a book such as Python Headfirst if you need to learn about variables, modules, and the other fundamentals of the language. That said, if you do have the foundational knowledge of Python this is a thorough guide to the language. With the speed that technology is advancing this can’t cover everything but it will help you to get from apprentice to journeyman level if you use Python regularly.

Did not find useful at all. i was expecting loads of example programs, instead it was littered with small one-liners, which to me, was totally useless as it hardly explained how to use it

A great work. If you’re studying Python seriously this is the right book.

Thorough coverage of the Python 3 core language, up to date through Python 3.12 with preview coverage of 3.13. Selected coverage of standard library modules -- can't cover everything in the standard library for this sort of book; the standard library is rather large. Just starting in on this book, but it is clear that if you wish to *master* the Python language then this is the book for you! As the author makes clear, if you truly wish to learn this language, you must devote disciplined time and effort to the task. My only quibble is that I wish there were more frequent and more substantial programming exercises. Currently these show up at the ends of major book parts, though there are test your knowledge quizzes at the end of almost all chapters. However, to be fair -- and why I regard this as a "quibble" -- if you're truly serious about mastering Python you will naturally seek to apply it in your own projects as you work through the book. At least that is my approach.

Absolutely outstanding!! A must read for anyone learning Python. I cannot emphasise the importance of this book enough.

Don't know anything about Python programming? This book will give you lessons, clues and utilities all about python. With this book once finished reading and working through, you will come out knowing EVERY THING about python. A classic, comprehensive and compatible to curious minds, this book must be on everyone's library. With 6th edition, the book has brought all python developments together and updated python. New beginners will be treated with recent python tools and techniques. So, I do not see why it should not be owned? The book is large. I have Kindle version and has coverage all aspects of python including python installation and some talks about text editors.

Libro excepcional, el autor es todo un maestro y se nota, la forma de explicar y desmenuzar todo es impresionante, asi como el orden y la forma de enseñar, es como una novela tecnica, te absorbe, se notan sus decadas de experiencia, eso si, no es un libro si uno tiene prisa, pero si quieres aprender python de una forma profunda para mi es la mejor opción con diferencia, realmente llegaras a dominar el lenguaje Tenia la edicion anterior que era igual de excelente y esta es una actualización al mismo nivel, impresionante En cuanto a la impresion por encima de la media hoy en dia, tinta buena, paginas con letra pequeña resistentes y llenas de conocimiento, todo muy condensado, sin triquiñuelas tipo espacios vacios para aumentar el número de paginas o cosas similares, eso si, el libro se ve que es mas blando/debil que los de hace tiempo, se dobla/deforma con facilidad pero como digo por encima de la media hoy en dia que todo ha degenerado mucho por desgracia, el libro aguanta relativamente bien y tiene mucho merito con lo gordo que es
