Book Description

If you need help writing programs in Python 3, or want to update older Python 2 code, this book is just the ticket. Packed with practical recipes written and tested with Python 3.3, this unique cookbook is for experienced Python programmers who want to focus on modern tools and idioms.

Inside, you'll find complete recipes for more than a dozen topics, covering the core Python language as well as tasks common to a wide variety of application domains. Each recipe contains code samples you can use in your projects right away, along with a discussion about how and why the solution works.

• David Beazley is best known for his work with the Python programming language, for which he has created several open-source packages (e.g., Swig and PLY) and authored the acclaimed Python Essential Reference. He also has significant experience with systems programming in C, C++, and assembly language.
• Brian K. Jones is a system administrator in the department of computer science at Princeton University.

• Automate the Boring Stuff with Python (Albert Sweigart)

  Learn how to use Python to write programs that do in minutes what would take you hours to do by hand - no prior programming experience required. You'll create Python programs that effortlessly perform useful and impressive feats of automation.

• Python for Everybody: Exploring Data in Python 3

  This book is designed to introduce students to programming and software development through the lens of exploring data. You can think of the Python programming language as your tool to solve data problems that are beyond the capability of a spreadsheet.

• O'Reilly® Python Data Science Handbook: Essential Tools

  Several resources exist for individual pieces of this data science stack, but only with the Python Data Science Handbook do you get them all - IPython, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn, and other related tools.

• Problem Solving with Algorithms/Data Structures using Python

  This is a textbook about computer science. It is also about Python. However, there is much more. The tools and techniques that you learn here will be applied over and over as you continue your study of computer science.

• Fundamentals of Python Programming (Richard L. Halterman)

  It focuses on introducing programming techniques and developing good habits. To that end, our approach avoids some of the more esoteric features of Python and concentrates on the programming basics that transfer directly to other imperative programming.

• O'Reilly® Think Python, 2nd Edition (Allen B. Downey)

  This hands-on guide takes you through the Python programming language a step at a time, beginning with basic programming concepts before moving on to functions, recursion, data structures, and object-oriented design. 2nd edition updated for Python 3.

• Functional Programming in Python (David Mertz)

  It describes ways to avoid Python’s imperative-style flow control, the nuances of callable functions, how to work lazily with iterators, and the use of higher-order functions. He also lists several third-party Python libraries useful for functional programming.

• Python 3 Patterns, Recipes and Idioms (Bruce Eckel, et al)

  This book is aimed at more experienced Python programmers who are looking to deepen their understanding of the language and modern programming idioms. It focuses on some of the more advanced techniques used by libraries, frameworks, and applications.

• Introduction to Scientific Programming with Python

  This book offers an initial introduction to programming for scientific and computational applications using the Python programming language. The presentation style is compact and example-based, assuming little or no prior experience in programming.

• Architecture Patterns with Python (Harry Percival, et al.)

  Enabling Test-Driven Development, Domain-Driven Design, and Event-Driven Microservices, it introduces proven architectural design patterns to help Python developers manage application complexity, and get the most value out of their test suites.

• Foundations of Robotics: Approach with Python and ROS

  This book introduces key concepts in robotics in an easy to understand language using an engaging project-based approach. It covers contemporary topics in robotics, providing an accessible entry point to fundamentals in all the major domains.

• Modeling and Simulation in Python (Allen B. Downey)

  This book is an introduction to physical modeling using a computational approach with Python. You will learn how to use Python to accomplish many common scientific computing tasks: importing, exporting, and visualizing data; numerical analysis; etc.
