Features: When Python programmers need help while recalling or explaining the syntax of this open-source language and its numerous powerful yet poorly documented modules, this book serves as a reference for them. Frequently needed information is easily found in this comprehensive reference guide—not only about the Python language itself but also the frequently used parts of the standard library and important third-party extensions. The book has been revised and expanded to comply with Python 2.5, now including details of Python's new subprocess module and pioneering information about Microsoft's new IronPython project. Our "Nutshell" format is particularly suited to Python, presenting the essence of important modules and functions in the standard library, covering more than 90% of the knowledge you need for actual programming.
