    Reviewed in India on 9 July 2018
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Good book.It's covered so many concepts but not in deep. I expected that it might have all the concepts explained in very comprehensive manner but it's explained briefly.
    In my opinion:
    -- Beginners can use this book to know what are the concepts should learn and how to start with..
    -- Experts can use this book to recall the concepts in less time
    -- I cannot tell how professionals can use this book because professionals requires comprehensive explanations and more real time examples to expand their knowledge (I have read first 6 chapters and i couldn't find them).

    Reviewed in the United States on 5 August 2023
    Verified Purchase
    This book hasn't been updated since 2001. I would not have purchased it if I had realized it was so out of date. Python 3 differs enough from Python 2 as to make this book quite useless except as a reference for someone trying to understand a legacy Python 2 codebase. I knew I'd made a mistake buying this book as soon as I saw it mentioning Sun Solaris as if it that was still a relevant thing.
