Handy, convenient reference, Mar 21 2011
By Christian Schmidt - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Python Pocket Reference: Python in Your Pocket (Paperback)
I'm a beginning programmer and I found this reference book very handy. It won't teach you how to program in python, but it is an indispensable quick reference for the usage of common commands and methods once you learn the basics. Worth every penny.

This review is from: Python Pocket Reference: Python in Your Pocket (Paperback)
The more I code in Python, the more I love it (my other favorite, Ruby, falls short in many critical areas that Python excels at, such as scientific computing, artificial intelligence prototyping, GPU programming extensions, etc.). The fact that I can use my C libraries for bit-level tweaking and major speedup on resource intensive tasks make Python an even bigger winner compared to many other scripting languages.This reference book is helpful to jot your memory as you code, and although it's not by any means comprehensive, it does come very handy when you forget what regex format to use, or what binascii methods to call, etc.
The book itself is physically small and very portable.

This review is from: Python Pocket Reference: Python in Your Pocket (Paperback)
This is a great little book. I have had three revisions of it and plan to get the next one when it is published. I keep it in my mini 10v running ubuntu linux (9.10) netbook's sleeve when I travel. Perfect little reference and easily worth the cost.
