Python: Create-Modify-Reuse is designed for all levels of Python
developers interested in a practical, hands-on way of learning Python
development. This book is designed to show you how to use Python (in
combination with the raw processing power of your computer) to
accomplish real-world tasks in a more efficient way. Don't look for an
exhaustive description of the Python language––you won't find it. The
book's main purpose is not to thoroughly cover the Python language, but
rather to show how you can use Python to create robust, real-world
applications.
In this respect, the goal is similar to foreign-language books that
identify themselves as “conversational,” focusing on the vocabulary and
concepts that people will need the most. Likewise, I focus specifically
on the Python knowledge needed to accomplish practical, specific tasks.
Along the way, you will learn to create useful, efficient scripts that
are easy to maintain and enhance.
