Python Essential Reference, 3rd Edition, is a comprehensive reference to the Python programming language. The focus of& this latest& edition is to add coverage of significant new features and new library modules added to the language over the past five years.& Clearly written with concise organization, & the new& features covered& include new style classes, unification of types and classes, xmlrpclip, intertools, bz2 and optparse, making it the most up-to-date Python book on the market.

"Focusing on Python 3.6 and higher, this concise handbook focuses on the essential core of the language, with updated code examples to illuminate how Python works and how to structure programs that can be more easily explained, tested, and debugged. Throughout, Beazley reflects all he's learned teaching Python to scientists, engineers, and developers, and pushing the envelope of what makes Python tick."--Page 4 of cover.

A Python community leader teaches professionals how to integrate web applications with Python.

The goal of the Python Essential Reference is to concisely describe the Python programming language and its large library of standard modules, collectively known as the Python programming "environment". It is arranged into four major parts. First a brief tutorial and introduction is presented, then an informal language reference will cover lexical conventions, functions, statements, control flow, datatypes, classes, and execution models. The third part will cover the Python library, and the final section covers the Python C API that is used to write Python extensions.This book is for the professional who has experience with other systems programming languages such as C or C++, and is looking for content that is not embellished with basic introductory material on the Python programming environment.
