hi,
I am new to python (but not to programming - have programmed in many
other languages like C++/lisp/perl etc.) and I would like to buy a good
book. The local bookstore has no books about Python, so I cannot look
into a book and see whether I like it. That is why I turned to this
newsgroup for advise.
I would like a book with a very complete and correct description of the
language and the built-in features, and things like how to integrate
programs with C or C++. I am not looking for a beginner's handbook with
all kinds of simple examples (since I already know how to program), but
rather a good formal description of all the features of the language
(with a good structure and index, so I can use it as a reference).
I already saw one book at an on-line bookstore that is probably good:
"Programming Python" by Mark Lutz from O'reilly
Would you advise me to order this one or are there other books I should
know about?
TIA,
R.
