Python Bibliography

Book Description

Twenty years ago, Guido van Rossum was hard at work on the first release of Python. A lot has changed in those twenty years. Many of the programming languages that were contemporaries of Python have started showing their age. Meanwhile, there have been no shortages of new programming languages, yet Python continues to hold up well. Its emphasis on clean syntax, and its melding of object-oriented and functional programming elements, put it years ahead of the other popular languages from the 1990s.

The story of Python is not only about it being ahead of its time in terms of syntax and features. It is also about its open development and the community around it. Its value as a scripting language is well known, and it ships with many operating systems. For years Python has been one of the P’s in the LAMP stack used for numerous web applications. Indeed, Python’s popularity with web developers has lead to a multitude of web application frameworks written in Python: Django, TurboGears, Pylons, CherryPy, and so on.

Even with technology’s fast-moving pace, Python remains on the cutting edge. NoSQL data stores have become increasingly popular, and you can find first class support for using Python with any of these technologies. This is just further evidence of the continued popularity of Python and the vibrant community around it. This bibliography contains a wide selection of books about Python. These range from various introductory to advanced books. Of course, web development is covered, but you might be surprised to see the wide variety of other types of development that are done using Python.

Whether you are working on machine learning or just hacking in your spare time, Python has something for you.

20年前，Guido van Rossum正在努力开发第一个版本的Python。在这二十年里发生了很大的变化。许多与Python同时代的编程语言已经开始显示出它们的时代。与此同时，新的编程语言并不缺乏，但Python仍然保持着良好的势头。它对干净语法的强调，以及面向对象和函数式编程元素的融合，使其领先于20世纪90年代以来的其他流行语言数年。

Python的故事不仅仅在于它在语法和特性方面领先于它的时代。它也是关于它的开放发展和它周围的社区。它作为一种脚本语言的价值是众所周知的，并且它随许多操作系统一起提供。多年来，Python一直是LAMP堆栈中用于众多Web应用程序的™之一。事实上，™在Web开发人员中的受欢迎程度已经导致了大量用Python语言编写的Web应用程序框架：Django、TurboGears、Tarons、CherryPy等等。

即使技术发展如此之快，但Python仍处于领先地位。NoSQL数据存储已经变得越来越流行，您可以找到将Python与这些技术中的任何一种一起使用的一流支持。这进一步证明了Python和它周围充满活力的社区的持续流行。这本参考书目包含了大量关于Python的书籍。这些书籍的范围从各种入门书籍到高级书籍。当然，本文还介绍了Web开发，但您可能会惊讶地发现，各种各样的其他类型的开发都是使用Python完成的。

无论您是从事机器学习工作，还是只是在业余时间从事黑客工作，Python都为您准备了一些东西。
