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.
