ANN: New Book: Programming in Python 3

[Dotan Cohen]

2008/12/4 Mark Summerfield <mark at qtrac.eu>:
> Now that Python 3 final has been released I thought it would be a good time
> to mention that there's a new book to go with it:
>
> "Programming in Python 3:
> A Complete Introduction to the Python Language"
> ISBN 0137129297
> http://www.qtrac.eu/py3book.html
>
> I've been working on this for more than a year, testing the examples
> against every Python 3 alpha and beta, and against the final release (using
> Python's unit test and doctest modules of course:).
>
> The book has just gone into production and should be available in print at
> the end of this month in the U.S., and a month or two later elsewhere. The
> book's web page has links to a draft of the introduction and to safari
> books online where you can read extracts.
>
> The book is aimed at a wide audience, but assumes some programming
> experience (not necessarily Python, not necessarily object-oriented). It
> teaches solid procedural style programming, then builds on that to teach
> solid object-oriented programming, and then goes on to more advanced topics
> (e.g., including a nice way to create validated attributes by combining
> class decorators with descriptors). But even newcomers to Python 3 should
> be able to write useful (although small and basic) programs after reading
> chapter 1, and then go on to create larger and more sophisticated programs
> as they work through the chapters.

I will ask my university bookstore to get a copy, though by experience
it probably won't get there until Python 4! They just now got a Fedora
3 book in stock that I requested eons ago.

If I decide to buy online, what is most favourable for you? Amazon?
Direct order? I need shipping to Israel.
