"OK, this is a computer programming textbook, not typically one would review, however there are several good reasons to read this book:
1.) At the very top of the front cover, it has the words "Powerful Object-Oriented Programming," which leads to my new favorite CS acronym. 2.) The computer language is called Python, yet there's a rat on the cover. Now *that's* ballsy. 3.) The language itself isn't named after the reptile. It's named after Monty Python. Really. All the examples in the book have to do with Spam and the Spanish Inquisition. 4.) Most importantly, for those who program, this is a really, really great language. All the bookkeeping one does in a language like C is taken care of for you. Unless you need all the performance in the world, this is a great language, at the least for fast prototyping, if not production. Plus, you can actually understand the code, unlike after having written Perl. 5.) If you've looked at other computer language textbooks, this one is exceptionally clear and easy to read. It's not a Dan Brown page turner, but, hey, it's not supposed to be. It's even mildly entertaining at times.
My only complaint - wait for it - is about a command called "pickle", which I tried to use on a big file and, er, knocked out a server. It had some unfortunate memory usage "features," which aren't the fault of the textbook, but I wish it had mentioned."
"Overall a very decent introduction to the Python language though written for someone who may not have an extensive background in programming. Thus concepts like OO and exceptions got bogged down by lengthy background explantations."
