- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5What 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.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Very 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".
