You, might find "Data Structures and Algorithms with Object-Oriented
Design Patterns in Python"
by Bruno R. Preiss useful.

http://www.brpreiss.com/books/opus7/

It is not about python or how it differs from c, but about algorithms,
with examples in python.
The book is meant for cs students.

There are a lot of source examples and other versions in C++, Java,
C#, Ruby, Lua, Perl, PHP. So you can compare an avl-tree
implementation in python, php and c++.

Re: [Tutor] Excited about python

[Albert-Jan Roskam]

My all-time favourite is Programming in Python 3 (Mark Summerfield) 
http://www.qtrac.eu/py3book.html

Most of it is not for absolute beginners. Some of the chapters contain stuff I 
still cannot wrap my brain around. I believe the chapter about regexes (which 
is 
VERY good) is freely downloadable.

 Cheers!!

For a handy reference, you can't beat "Python Essential  Reference" by David 
Beazley (along with the online documentation, of course!).  I think this book 
is obligatory if you are going to be working with Python a lot.  I own all 
four editions :)

But you wanted something more in depth with algorithms, etc.  The O'Reilly 
book "Programming Python" by Mark Lutz is a classic and is probably a good bet 
for you.  Core Python by Wesley Chun is also good, and I've seen him on this 
list from time to time.

Also, check out the Python wiki:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonBooks

+1 on all of Chris's recommendations with a special +1 for Mark Lutz's
book.

Hello,
 I just joined this mailing list so that i can boost up my learning of python.I 
come from a C background so python looks a little strange to me but it is 
easier to learn then any other languages around.Yet,i have not been able to 
find any cool books on python for peoples who are already programmers.The ones 
which i found which i found were quite boring and exhaustive.

 Can you recommend a book for a person like me which comes with a C background 
and the book covers all essential algoithmic methods and examples?

 Thank you.

I also came from a C/C++ background, but I found the standard tutorial 
sufficient.
