I have no idea why other readers haven't though highly of this book. Anyhow, this is my first O'Reilly book. I had worked with Python for a few months before I bought the book. This book increased my knowlegdge of Python a great bit. While it is not a complete reference ( it never claims to be anyway ), I find myself looking in the index a few times each day to find out a module's purpose or to find a module that can accomplish a certain task.


I also like how the author presents [i]code[/i] that demonstrates what a module does. It's a lot easier to learn from.


Overall, this is an excellent book.
