Worked for me. The 1/e was the easiest intro to a language I've ever read. (I don't suppose you fancy doing one for Ruby :) Eddie -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Need help to learn Python
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 23 Mar 2007 06:20:15 -0700 Core Python Programming is mostly theory and very little code. It's good for reference and digging deeper into the language... let me clarify here that mike's statement refers to the total number of large applications in the book. Core Python *does* have a lot of code in it, but they are mostly snippets and bits using the interactive interpreter. i chose this model instead of many large applications because: 1) i feel that small snippets that people can follow along with in the interpreter is more valuable... in fact, many readers *don't* have the interpreter in front of them, but they can see what it does so that once they *are* in front of it, it does what they expect 2) providing smallish to medium-sized applications allows for maximum absorption by the reader 3) i didn't have time to develop lots of large applications... if you learn with lots of large applications with lots of code, then this book is not for you. with that said, i would still like to state that the book's target audience is for people who know how to program but need to pick up Python as quickly as possible. the theory that's in the book is really more explanation of how the Python interpreter works, especially the relationship between objects and memory management. the goal is to give you enough of an understanding of how Python works under the covers that you will write very effective code, even as a beginner to the language. you can read more of my manifesto on Amazon's page for the book as well as at the book's website below. cheers! -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Core Python Programming, Prentice Hall, (c)2007,2001 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com python training and technical consulting cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

So could you please advice me, and guide me how can i become master in Python ! Thanks, Partha If you need books for a beginner in Python, go with Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner by Dawson, or Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science by Zelle. Core Python Programming is mostly theory and very little code. It's good for reference and digging deeper into the language, if you don't mind some screwy grammatical errors here and there. Programming Python 3rd Ed (by Lutz) has lots of code to dig into, but I would say it is for intermediate to advanced users. It also contains many practical useful scripts in it.

PythonBiter [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm very new in this Group as well Python language. I want to learn Python. Welcome, and congratulations on your decision. So could you please advice me, and guide me how can i become master in Python ! Work through the Python Tutorial. This means: don't just read it, but perform the exercises in order, and experiment with each one until you understand what it does.
