Python Pocket Reference Summary

Python Pocket Reference by Mark Lutz

Python is a popular object-oriented scripting language that is freely available over the Net. It's portable, powerful, and remarkably easy to use. Python is commonly used for both stand-alone programs and scripting applications, in a wide variety of domains. This book is a companion volume to two O'Reilly Animal Guides, Programming Python and Learning Python. It summarizes Python statements and types, built-in functions, commonly used library modules, and other prominent Python language features. This pocket reference covers the latest Python release and complements Python's online reference material.

About Mark Lutz

Mark Lutz is a software developer and a Python writer and trainer. He is also the author of the O'Reilly book Programming Python, as well as a Python chapter in a programming languages text. Mark has programmed a variety of Python systems, teaches courses about the language, and has been involved with Python since 1992 (which means he gets to call himself a Python Old Timer when he's in a stoic mood). By day, Mark currently works as a software gun-for-hire (described on his resume as a consultant). He earned B.S. and M.S. degrees in computer science from the University of Wisconsin, and has worked on compilers, programming tools, scripting languages, and assorted client/server systems. Most of his recent development experience involves hard-core programming, killer bugs, and arguably insane hours, but he's having too much fun to take up pig farming any time soon.
