Learning Python: Powerful Object-Oriented Programming (4th Edition)
Google and YouTube use Python simply because it's hugely adaptable, effortless to take care of, and makes it possible for speedy improvement. so as to write top quality, effective code that's simply built-in with different languages and instruments, this hands-on ebook might help you be effective with Python quick -- even if you're new to programming or simply new to Python.
Real Python: An Introduction to Python Through Practical Examples
An publication to coach programming via hands-on, fascinating examples which are worthy and fun!
Python is a smart programming language. It's loose, strong, more uncomplicated to learn than such a lot languages, and has extensions on hand to do nearly whatever you'll think automatically.
But how do you definitely use it? There are hundreds assets in the market for studying Python, yet none of them are very sensible or fascinating - in its place, they cross over every one suggestion one after the other, by no means tying whatever jointly, yet spending lots of time misplaced in technical language, discussing the twenty other ways to complete each one easy activity. ..
I are looking to write an publication that eventually provides a concise advent to every thing you may really are looking to do with Python.
We'll commence with a brief yet thorough evaluate of the entire fundamentals, so that you don't even want any previous adventure with programming. however the majority of the e-book might be spent build up instance code to unravel fascinating real-world problems.
Python is astounding for automating repetitive projects that will another way take you hours - for example, quick collecting information from the net, or renaming countless numbers of documents. the various subject matters that I'm making plans to cover:
Collecting information from webpages (web scraping)
Interacting with PDF records - studying info, growing PDFs, editing pages, including passwords. ..
Interacting with Excel records (less performance in OS X)
Calling different open air courses from inside of Python
Files - read/write/modify, unzip, rename, circulation, etc.
Basic online game development
Interacting with SQL databases (internal and ODBC connections)
GUI (Graphical person Interface) layout - developing uncomplicated point-and-click courses that any one can use
Any different subject matters that you simply, my backers, are such a lot in!
Update: by means of well known call for, I'll be including net program development

Python Algorithms: Mastering Basic Algorithms in the Python Language
Python Algorithms explains the Python method of set of rules research and layout.
Written through Magnus Lie Hetland, writer of starting Python, this ebook is sharply all for classical algorithms, however it additionally offers an outstanding figuring out of primary algorithmic problem-solving thoughts.
The e-book offers with essentially the most vital and tough parts of programming and desktop technology, yet in a hugely pedagogic and readable manner.
The ebook covers either algorithmic idea and programming perform, demonstrating how thought is mirrored in actual Python programs.
Well-known algorithms and information buildings which are equipped into the Python language are defined, and the person is proven tips to enforce and assessment others himself.
Testing Python: Applying Unit Testing, TDD, BDD and Acceptance Testing
Basic trying out methodologies utilized to the preferred Python language
Testing Python; utilizing Unit checking out, TDD, BDD and reputation checking out is the main entire publication on hand on checking out for one of many best software program programming languages on the earth. Python is a common selection for brand new and skilled builders, and this hands-on source is a miles wanted consultant to enterprise-level trying out improvement methodologies. The publication will exhibit you why Unit checking out and TDD may end up in purifier, extra versatile programs.
Unit trying out and Test-Driven improvement (TDD) are more and more must-have abilities for software program builders, it doesn't matter what language they paintings in. In company settings, it's serious for builders to make sure they continuously have operating code, and that's what makes checking out methodologies so appealing. This publication will educate you the main accepted checking out innovations and may introduce to you to nonetheless others, protecting functionality checking out, non-stop trying out, and more.
Learn Unit trying out and TDD—important improvement methodologies that lie on the center of Agile development
Enhance your skill to paintings with Python to enhance robust, versatile functions with fresh code
Draw at the services of writer David Sale, a number one united kingdom developer and tech commentator
Get prior to the group by means of getting to know the underappreciated global of Python testing
Knowledge of software program trying out in Python might set you except Python builders utilizing outdated methodologies. Python is a ordinary healthy for TDD and trying out Python is a must-read textual content for an individual who desires to enhance services in Python programming.

Example text
Result: [u'pSphere2', u'polySphere2'] Apart from printing results, there are two important things worth noting about the previous step. First, highlighting a portion of code and then pressing Ctrl + Return will execute only the highlighted code. Second, highlighting code in this way before executing it prevents the contents of the Input Panel from emptying out. Another useful feature of the Script Editor is that it has support for marking menus. Marking menus are powerful, context-sensitive, gesture-based menus that appear throughout the Maya application.
You should see a new set of options in the bottom part of the marking menu. 4. Move your mouse over the Command Documentation option in the bottom of the marking menu and release the RMB. Maya should now open a web browser displaying the help documentation for the polySphere command. As you can see, the Script Editor is a very useful tool not only for creating and executing Python scripts in Maya, but also for quickly pulling up information about commands in your script. We will look at the command documentation later in this chapter.
Use mathematical operators with numeric types. ■ Use logical and bitwise operators with Boolean variables. ■ Use common operators with sequence types. ■ Manipulate nested lists. ■ Create Unicode and raw strings. ■ Format strings that contain variable values. ■ Compare and contrast sets and dictionaries with sequence types. In Chapter 1, we covered executing commands in Maya using Python. To do anything interesting, however, we need more tools to create programs. In this chapter we will explore some of the basics for working with variables in Python.
