Hi,
which of the following books would you recommend:
"Dive into Python" or "Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional"?
I'm an experienced C++-programmer who wants to take a look at Python.
Thanks,

I can't recommand the second since I've never read it. But you can
freely make your own opinion on the first, since it's freely available
online.
I'm an experienced C++-programmer who wants to take a look at Python.
Then I'd say that Dive into Python may be a good choice.
Welcome BTW

Another option: just use the on-line tutorial at python.org

"Dive into Python" actually mentions generators : http://diveintopython.org/dynamic_functions/stage6.html
And it's a very well written book btw.
I would recommend both, but as i have already bought the first version
of Beginning Python known as Practical Python by Magnus. I can
gaurantee you that the practical projects as well as the succinct
python tutorial in the book will show you the full power and glory of
Python. Magnus is a great author, believe me!

Since "Dive into Python" is on the net, you can see for yourself if it's
any good (which I think it is!) http://diveintopython.org/

I love reading books on Python and have almost all of them. However, it
seems that there aren't any new ones currently being written that
aren't for beginners. Does anyone know of any plans for future Python
books that cover specific topics like wxPython or mod_python (like
O'reilly's mod_perl and also their book on PerlTk). Thanks.

Hi all. I'm fairly new to programming and I thought I'd like to try
Python. I'm trying to decide between these two books:
Learning Python (O'Reilly)
Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional (APress)
and I was hoping you might have some suggestions. LP seems to be a good
intro, but the other was published only a month ago and covers 2.4. So
one question would be, is 2.2 different enough from 2.4 to warrant
getting the newer book...

decline, but on the other hand, Ruby is attracting a lot of people.

I started reading the beginning Python book. It is intended for people
who are starting out in the Python world. But it is really
complicated, because he tries to explain, then after a bad explanation
he puts out a bad example. I really recommend NOT reading the book.
For it will make you want not to continue in Python. This is just me
letting the air out of my lungs. No need to reply this is just a
recommendation. Txs for the opportunity .

Hi,
I'm a C++, Java and C programmer, and I'm searching for a (preferably
printed) book that teaches me the "Python idioms", i.e. the "Python
way" of doing something.
Ideally, I'm searching for a book like "Effective C++" or "Effective
Java", that does not lose time teaching what is a class, or a
function, or a loop, but that enters into details and describes not
only the "how", but also the "why".

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
