Description: This book makes an easy-to-use language even easier. I recently needed to prepare a large number of files for database publishing. The files were a disaster -- many, many errors and structural problems. After reading a few chapters from Quick Python, I was able to immediately begin writing & testing code that helped me to straighten out the files. The annotated code samples were very clear. They really should call the book Instant Python! It is every bit as helpful as an O'Reilly book. Later, the book turned out to be a great reference too. I especially like the sideheads in the scanning margin that provide just enough to remind me of how to use a Python technique without forcing me to read through pages of text. The chapter on COM was great and made me feel better about choosing this language over Visual Basic (my background is in VB) for this and other similar projects. The chapter on regular expressions was a little brief, but gave me enough information do some very useful file ..
