Python Cookbook, 2nd Edition

Portable, powerful, and a breeze to use, Python is the popular open source object-oriented programming language used for both standalone programs and scripting applications. It is now being used by an increasing number of major organizations, including NASA and Google.

Updated for Python 2.4, The Python Cookbook, 2nd Edition offers a wealth of useful code for all Python programmers, not just advanced practitioners. Like its predecessor, the new edition provides solutions to problems that Python programmers face everyday.

It now includes over 200 recipes that range from simple tasks, such as working with dictionaries and list comprehensions, to complex tasks, such as monitoring a network and building a templating system. This revised version also includes new chapters on topics such as time, money, and metaprogramming.

Here’s a list of additional topics covered:

• Manipulating text
• Searching and sorting
• Working with files and the filesystem
• Object-oriented programming
• Dealing with threads and processes
• System administration
• Interacting with databases
• Creating user interfaces
• Network and web programming
• Processing XML
• Distributed programming
• Debugging and testing

Another advantage of The Python Cookbook, 2nd Edition is its trio of authors–three well-known Python programming experts, who are highly visible on email lists and in newsgroups, and speak often at Python conferences.

With scores of practical examples and pertinent background information, The Python Cookbook, 2nd Edition is the one source you need if you’re looking to build efficient, flexible, scalable, and well-integrated systems.

可移植、功能强大且使用起来轻而易举，它是一种流行的开源面向对象编程语言，可用于独立程序和脚本应用程序。现在，包括NASA和谷歌在内的越来越多的主要组织正在使用它。

Updated for Python 2.4, The Python Cookbook，第二版为所有的Python程序员提供了丰富的有用代码，而不仅仅是高级实践者。像它的前身一样，新版为Python程序员每天面临的问题提供了解决方案。

它现在包括200多个食谱，从简单的任务，如使用词典和列表理解，到复杂的任务，如监控网络和构建模板系统。这个修订版还包括了关于时间、金钱和元编程等主题的新章节。

以下是所涵盖的其他主题列表：

• Manipulating text
• Searching and sorting
• 使用文件和文件系统
• 面向对象编程
• 处理线程和进程
• System administration
• 与数据库交互
• 创建用户界面
• 网络和网络编程
• Processing XML
• Distributed programming
• Debugging and testing

的另一个优势是 Python Cookbook，第二版是它的三位作者&三位著名的Python编程专家，他们在电子邮件列表和新闻组中经常出现，并经常在Python会议上发言。

通过大量的实践例子和相关的背景信息， Python Cookbook如果您希望构建高效、灵活、可扩展且集成良好的系统，则第2版是您需要的资源。
