It's got the best section on GUI programming in python that I've seen so far, and all the examples given throughout the book are practical, useful thing - unlike a lot of other ...

Object-Oriented Programming in Python 2 reviews Michael H Goldwasser, David Letscher
Prentice Hall, 2007
Best Python Book but
There are only some problems have the answer (less than 5% of the total). This was not a problem because David Letscher, one of the author, was my professor, since he rarely used problem from the book for the tests and the final.
There is also a small problem with the graphic library, ...

Python Cookbook 37 reviews Alex Martelli, Anna Ravenscroft, ...
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005
Worth the money
+ i cook a lot + A great edition
This is the only Python book I've seen to date which provides detailed and practical examples of metaprogramming idioms, and it gets five stars for that chapter way in the back alone. The chapter on sockets programming also made me laugh since Guido seems to be incredibly proud of what I personally ...

Learning Python, 3rd Edition 124 reviews Mark Lutz
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008
Great book!
+ Good for beginners, the python docs can do equally good
This book is great! Good writing, good exercises. Good for people who have some experience in programming. If you have never had any contact to other languages or logic, consider studying some introdutory topics before reading this book.

Foundations of Agile Python Development (Expert's Voice in Open Source) 2 reviews Jeff Younker
Apress, 2008
Just the intro chapter is worth it
+ Likely very good for a niche audience.
I was not disappointed when I started reading this book.
The first chapter which covers the theory of "Agile Development", is just great.
Now, I am no agile programming expert. The only thing I currently do is write a lot unit tests. But I think I will take some advice for the future (like ...

MATLABŪ Recipes for Earth Sciences 2 reviews Martin H. Trauth
Springer, 2007
Recipes for Earth Science
+ A good recipe book on a topic that is rarely written about
This is a well written, perhaps slightly overpriced book, providing an overview and starting point for a wide range of applications in geosciences, such as image processing in remote sensing, generation and processing of digital elevation models and the analysis of time series - as stated.

Python Power!: The Comprehensive Guide (Power!) 1 review Matt Telles
Course Technology PTR, 2007
A simple but useful Python Guide - nothing more
The title is a little misleading. Python Power!: The Comprehensive Guide. Well, it is a Python Guide, but without much Power (it is there in Python but you will need to apply it - the book does not do it for you) and definitely not Comprehensive. At around 500 pages not sure why the author would ...

Numerical Methods in Engineering with Python 2 reviews Jaan Kiusalaas
Cambridge University Press, 2005
Undergrad Numerical Method Textbook
+ As advertized - could use a little more context.
The content is typical of an undergraduate course in numerical methods. The author employs Python for that. It doesn't tell you how to use various modules available on the net. Instead, the author sticks to the standard few and explains numerical methods from the very basics. The book is very ...

Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science John M. Zelle
Franklin Beedle & Associates, 2003
This book is designed to be used as the primary textbook in a college-level first course in computing. It takes a fairly traditional approach, emphasizing problem solving, design, and programming as the core skills of computer science. However, these ideas are illustrated using a non-traditional language, namely Python. Although I use Python as the language, teaching Python is not the main ...
