It's a bit dated, but the Python Cookbook does a great job of teaching you practical examples of Python if you already know other languages and want to quickly grok what is "pythonic." It starts with string crunching and hits just about every other general sysadmin use case, covering most of the standard library along the way.
- hello_moto 15y agoMay I know why it is a bit dated? because I'm thinking to buy the book and the year is 2005, which is good enough for me since 2005 means Python 2.5 at least (or even more).
- sateesh 15y agoThe 2nd edition of Python Cookbook doesn't cover Python 2.5. It covers language features that were there till Python 2.4. (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596007973 http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596007973) The 3rd edition of Python Cookbook is expected to appear by end of this year. http://dabeaz.blogspot.com/2010/12/oreilly-python-cookbook-python-3-all.html http://dabeaz.blogspot.com/2010/12/oreilly-python-cookbook-p...
