The Book of Python

Python is an open source programming language that supports various styles of coding including object orientation, aspect orientation, coding by design, structural and functional programming. It is commonly used for web applications and application development, and is used extensively by Google, RedHat, and many other large organizations.

The Book of Python is a complete reference to the Python programming language. It begins with a discussion of Python's programming environment, then moves on to more advanced topics, including object oriented programming, interacting with operating systems, creating GUIs and database interfaces, network programming, XML, web programming, and much more. To aid programmers in their daily use of this book, functions and modules are cross-referenced throughout and multiple examples illustrate how to use Python.
