 A wealth of knowledge October 6, 2008
core PYTHON programming SECOND EDITION is a well laid out respository of powerfull knowledge, all in one place. A brilliant aid to understanding Python programming at all skill levels. If like me you can't resist the urge to dig deeper and find out what makes things tick, then this is a resource second to none. A big thank you to WESLEY J CHUN and everyone who supported him in putting together this great piece of work. I will recommend this book everytime.

I learned Python basics thanks to this book. It is divided in two parts. In the first one, all the foundations of the language are clearly explained, whereas in the second one more andvanced stuff and applications are presented. Thanks to the many small scripts and examples, which you can try out on the fly, you can master all the basic syntax very quickly. Highly recommended reading for newcomers, it makes you appreciate the beauty of programming in Python.

I got this book as a Christmas present (Christmas 2007) as I had been curious about Python for some time. I found the book really interesting and helpful and have read the book from chapter to chapter, beginning to end as I found the book that interesting. I found the book can be used either just purely as a reference as well as an interesting read. The book covers all of the core basic Python programming skills needed to use Python confidently with really good examples along the way so you can quickly get into Python scripting. The author covers advanced / additional topics such as regular expressions, widgets, socket programming among others if you're interested in learning further, again with excellent examples. This book is a must for any C/C++ programmers wanting to learn Python.
An awesome must have! November 29, 2007
I've just purchased this book for 14.x and I have to say, it's one of the best books I've ever read with regard to programming. It covers pretty much everything you would need.
