real work done. Programming Python will show you how, with in-depth tutorials on
the language's primary application domains: system administration, GUIs, and
the Web. You'll also explore how Python is used in databases, networking, front-
end scripting layers, text processing, and more. This book focuses on commonly
used tools and libraries to give you a comprehensive understanding of Python.s
many roles in practical, real-world programming.

You'll learn language syntax and programming techniques in a clear and concise
manner, with lots of examples that illustrate both correct usage and common
idioms. Completely updated for version 3.x, Programming Python also delves into
the language as a software development tool, with many code examples scaled
specifically for that purpose.

Topics include:

* Quick Python tour: Build a simple demo that includes data representation,
object-oriented programming, object persistence, GUIs, and website basics
* System programming: Explore system interface tools and techniques for
command-line scripting, processing files and folders, running programs in
parallel, and more
* GUI programming: Learn to use Python.s tkinter widget library
* Internet programming: Access client-side network protocols and email tools,
