After getting a review copy of Learning Python, 3rd edition, I had forgot how much really great material was in the book. If you are interested in learning about Python 2.6 and Python 3000, and have some experience with Programming in another language this is an excellent book.


This book is not a reference book like the excellent Python Essential Reference, but more of a example driven guide through features of the language. I would pick this book up even if you know Python, as it covers new language features that have not been documented in some books.

"Here is the complete course on learning Python, a powerful language used by such well-known companies as Google, iRobot and YouTube. The author, who presents live Python language instruction, has drawn from his personal classroom experiences to produce a book full of practical tips, insider hints, and real world-based insights."
