Tyk tung bog med programmeringseksempler i python. Ikke ret god. Til gengæld er der "morsomme" kapitelundertitler og citat fra dokumentationen for pythons sort at den har supernatural performance, men ingen diskussion af om det fx er en 'stable sort'. Dumpet. ( )

What a disappointment. A very long, tedious and random collection of python programming examples with no rhyme or reason whatsoever. I think they were trying out a new idea for an authoritative language book which didn't end up panning out at all. A big pile of wasted paper. ( )

Very disappointing. One of the worst O'Reilly books I've come across. Don't let the size deceive you... there is not much useful information here. The index is particularly shocking. I second the other recommendation for "Python Essential Reference". ( )

O'Reilly is usually so good, but I found this book disappointing. It's too long and scattershot, and I end up never looking at it. I much prefer the Python Essential Reference by Beazley. ( )
