Title: Superficial and Overpriced.
Review: This book seems designed for programmers who have more money than time. It's presented in a quick, here's some code, you figure it out fashion. It reminds me of a college student's attempt to finish a term paper by spending the weekend surfing the net, doing a lot of cut & paste, and throwing in a comment here and there to hold it together by . Not very professional or satisfying.Perhaps if this book had come out 3 years ago it could have filled some programmers need for a quick, high level overview of Python. Today however, most of what is in this book is available for free on the net and there are far better Python books to spend your money on.If you're looking for a good introduction to Python, look somewhere else. I recommend "Learning Python (Help for Programmers)" or, if you comfortable with the basics and prefer to learn by studying other peoples code, try "Python Annotated Archives" (which, unlike this book, really is annotated).
