About This Book:
This book is not a typical O'Reilly book, written as a cohesive manuscript by one or two authors. Instead, it is a new kind of booka bold attempt at applying some principles of open source development to book authoring. Over 300 members of the Python community contributed materials to this book. In this Preface, we, the editors, want to give you, the reader, some background regarding how this book came about and the processes and people involved, and some thoughts about the implications of this new form.
There are many texts available to help you learn Python or refine your Python knowledge, from introductory texts all the way to quite formal language descriptions.
We recommend the following books for general information about Python (all these books cover at least Python 2.2, unless otherwise noted):
In addition, several more special-purpose books can help you explore particular aspects of Python
programming. Which books you will like best depends a lot on your areas of interest. In addition to these books, other important sources of information can help explain some of the code in the recipes in this book. We've pointed out the information that seemed particularly relevant in the "See Also" sections of each recipe. In these sections, we often refer to the standard Python documentation: most often the Library Reference, sometimes the Reference Manual, and occasionally the Tutorial. This documentation is freely available in a variety of forms:
We have not included specific section numbers in our references to the standard Python documentation, since the organization of these manuals can change from release to release. You should be able to use the table of contents and indexes to find the relevant material. For the Library Reference, in particular, the Module Index (an alphabetical list of all standard library modules, each module name being a hyperlink to the Library Reference documentation for that module) is invaluable. Similarly, we have not given specific pointers in our references to Python in a Nutshell: that book is still in its first edition (covering Python up to 2.2) at the time of this writing, but by the time you're reading, a second edition (covering Python 2.3 and 2.4) is likely to be forthcoming, if not already published.
