Create a robust, reliable, and reusable Python
application
As an open source, object-oriented programming language, Python
is easy to understand, extendable, and user-friendly. This book
covers every aspect of Python so that you can get started writing
your own programs with Python today. Author James Payne begins with
the most basic concepts of the Python language-placing a special
focus on the 2.6 and 3.1 versions-and he offers an in-depth look at
existing Python programs so you can learn by example. Topics
progress from strings, lists, and dictionaries to classes, objects,
