The book is really a kind of paper manifestation of the ActiveState Programmer Network, where you can search for the latest tasty Python recipes, and maybe even contribute some of the ones you've invented yourself.

Python Cookbook

Author: Edited by Alex Martelli & David Ascher

Overview

Lots of tasty recipes in Python. If you're just getting started learning Python, some of the examples will be quite puzzling, but unlike Java books where a lot of the sample code is almost like Graffiti foisted on unsuspecting students by programmers who should know better, the examples in this book are so elegantly crafted that getting familiar with them will only help. It's an added bonus that a lot of them are actually practical and quite reusable.

Intended Audience

Python and Perl coders. Even though the "solution" code is in given in Python, writing out the same code in Perl can really help in understanding the language.

Highlights

Rough Spots
