Python Power!: The Comprehensive Guide 1st Edition

by Matt Telles (Author)
4.0 out of 5 stars (6)
Python, a powerful and flexible general purpose programming language is growing in popularity as more people become interested in programming using open source languages. "Python Power!: The Comprehensive Guide" shows readers how to use Python to run Web sites, write GUI interfaces, control number-crunching code, process large XML data sets, build test suites for C or Java code, and much more. Technical topics are explained clearly and concisely and end-of-chapter projects encourage the reader to program on their own. A detailed table of contents and a complete, well-organized index make this book a great reference tool. All code used in the book will be available for download on the companion website.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Might not be the best one out there.

    I was looking forward to using this but the first example I looked at was wrong and did not work. I went out to the help boards and found the answer, and am charging along. I haven't given up on this but was disappointed.
    I am working on a project in python now and may come back an add a comment if I feel less neutral about it.
    Bottom line is there are probably better books out there.
    I bought this as a companion to the 1100+ pg o-reilly book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best Python book to learn from with examples IMO.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2017
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Out of 16 Python books I borrowed from our state library, Python Power is the absolute best by far in my opinion. The writing style is as if the author was physically next to me teaching me how to learn Python. Each subject is followed with real example code which is so, so helpful in learning.

    The caveat is that this ISBN-13 version of "Python Power" covers Python 2.5 and not the latest 3.x versions which can be a bit different. This is why I suspect that one review said "the first example I looked at was wrong and did not work". I suspect that, that reviewer was using a 3.x version and not a 2.x version. I'm learning Python using version 3.6 and the explanations in this book are so good that I bought a copy anyway. Look up the difference between Python 2.x and 3.x on the internet to see the differences which are quite easy to overcome once they are known. An easy way to see if a book covers version 2 or 3 is to look at the print function. Version 2.x uses ...print "test"... while version 3.x uses ...print("test")... ignore the periods. I do wish that the author released a 3.x version to make things simpler though.

    Python Power also has a nice section on how to create a "Graphical User Interface" also known as a GUI. It uses the tkinter library that is installed when Python is installed. Version 2 calls it "Tkinter" while version 3 calls it "tkinter" with a lowercase t. The explanations are very easy to understand, again with real example code that is so helpful plus an image of the window that is created.

    Another book that is very easy to learn from IMO is "Python inh easy steps". It covers version 3 so is a good companion to Python Power.

    I like Python Power so much that I had to take the time to write a review since there are only 2 user reviews at the time of this writing.

    This is my favorite book for learning and reviewing Python from. I have more than 20 Python books and this is my main resource for Python. If you need more than this book I recommend finding a tutor and I can teach you Python as well. Please contact me at sutak@aol.com .
