I'm happy to announce new, 4th editions of the O'Reilly books Learning Python and Python Pocket Reference.
These new editions have been thoroughly updated and expanded to cover both Python 3.1 and 2.6, and fully present features that appear in each Python line. Whether you're using Python 2.X, using Python 3.X, or stuck somewhere in between, you'll find these editions tailored to your current and future needs. In addition to language changes, the new Learning Python has been augmented with a new OOP tutorial chapter, as well as new advanced topic chapters that explore Unicode processing, managed attributes, decorators, and metaclasses. For a more detailed description of the changes in the new Learning Python, please see the early draft Preface excerpt: http://www.rmi.net/~lutz/lp4e-preface-preview.html For more details on both books, see O'Reilly's web pages: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596158064/ http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596158088/ I also maintain pages about these books at: http://www.rmi.net/~lutz The new Learning Python is available today, in both paper and a variety of ebook and online forms; the Pocket Reference is printing and will be available shortly.
