Python trainers Laura Cassell and Alan Gauld targeted their new book Python Projects at the Python programmer with basic skills who is ready to start building real projects. Programmers who know the Python syntax and lay of the land, but who still may be intimidated by larger, more complex projects, will find this book useful. Python Projects provides a walk-through of the basic setup for an application and the building and packaging for a library, and explains in detail the functionalities related to the projects. Topics include maximizing the power of the standard library modules; finding and utilizing third-party libraries; creating, packaging and reusing libraries within and across projects; building multilayered functionality, including networks, data and user interfaces; and using development environments like virtualenv, pip and more. Publisher Wrox says that Python developers looking to apply their skills to real-world challenges will find a goldmine of information and expert insight in Python Projects.
