There's no time to take programming lessons when you’re facing a deadline. Python Cookbook helps you solve everyday problems quickly with code you can use in your applications right away -- whether you’re using Python as an object-oriented language, a scripting language, or a functional language.

Updated for Python 2.6 and 3.x, the third edition of this book provides easy-to-find recipes for everything from simple tasks, such as working with dictionaries and list comprehensions, to complex tasks such as monitoring a network and building a templating system.

Manipulating text
Searching and sorting
Working with files and the filesystem
Object-oriented programming
Dealing with threads and processes
System administration
Interacting with databases
