Python Essential Reference is the definitive reference guide to the Python programming language - the one authoritative handbook that reliably untangles and explains both the core Python language and the most essential parts of the Python library.

Designed for the practicing programmer, the book is concise, to the point, and highly accessible.

It also includes detailed information on the Python library and many advanced subjects that is not available in either the official Python documentation or any other single reference source.

First published: 2009
Publishers: Addison-Wesley Professional
Language: English

Probably the best book available on the subject. Has great technical detail, and is conspicuously absent of tedious beginner examples.

I'm a newbie to Python, and I like it because it is reminded me of BASIC: simple to use with lots of power. I have looked at on-line books and documents and wanted a general REFERENCE BOOK, a dictionary of the language, if you will.

What I was looking for.
