Yes, sometimes Beazley is too terse if you're reading about something
for the first time. But he's the best when you need to freshen your
knowledge on a module or function you used three months ago.

When in doubt, get both Beazley & Martelli. And follow with the
Cookbook.

Note the Martelli Nutshell is coming out in a new edition in early
July. You can preorder.
