Summary

This book walks readers through the "where" and "how" of real-world Python programming with practical, actionable instruction. With a focus on real-world functionality, it details the ways that Python can be used to complete daily tasks and bring efficiency to businesses and individuals. It is written specifically for those who know the Python syntax, but may still be intimidated by larger, more complex projects. It provides a walk-through of the basic set-up for an application and the building and packaging for a library, and explains in detail the functionalities related to the projects. Topics include: how to maximize the power of the standard library modules; where to get third party libraries, and the best practices for utilization; creating, packaging, and reusing libraries within and across projects; building multi-layered functionality including networks, data, and user interfaces; setting up development environments and using virtualenv, pip, and more. --
