The Python Standard Library by Example, Hellmann


The Python Standard Library by Example Free Download PDF Ebook. Doug Hellmann introduces virtually every important area of the Python 2.7 library through concise, stand-alone source code/output examples, designed for easy learning and reuse.

Author focuses on “showing” not “telling.” He explains code behavior through downloadable examples that fully demonstrate each feature. You’ll find practical code for working with text, data types, algorithms, math, file systems, networking, the Internet, XML, email, cryptography, concurrency, runtime and language services, and much more. Each section fully covers one module, and links to valuable additional resources, making this book an ideal tutorial and reference.

Coverage includes manipulating text with string, textwrap, re, and difflib, implementing data structures: collections, array, queue, struct, copy, and reading, writing, and manipulating files and directories, regular expression pattern matching, exchanging data and providing for persistence Archiving and data compression.

This book also shows guidelines for managing processes and threads by using application “building blocks”: parsing command-line options, prompting for passwords, scheduling events, logging, testing, debugging, and compilation. Controlling runtime configuration is also explained with using module and package utilities.

If you’re new to Python, this book will quickly give you access to a whole new world of functionality. If you’ve worked with Python before, you’ll discover new, powerful solutions and better ways to use the modules you’ve already tried. Doug Hellmann is a senior developer with Racemi, Inc., and communications director of the Python Software Foundation. He has programmed with Python since version 1.4, and has worked on multiple platforms in mapping, medical publishing, banking, and data center automation.
