Foundations of Python Network Programming

by John Goerzen, Martin Streicher (Editor)

Foundations of Python Network Programming leads readers through every aspect of client and server programming with Python. Python is a new and innovative scripting language. It is set to replace Perl as the programming language of choice for scripters and for serious application developers wanting a feature rich yet simple language to deploy their products in.

This book features extensive examples that not only demonstrate important concepts and practices, but also provide a cadre of fully-functional stand-alone programs. Readers can use the examples as the basis and building blocks for their own software.

Good, clear explanations, but the book is a mile wide and an inch deep.

This is definitely the worst Python book which I've read. It is very very basic and messy. The examples are non practical. Just a waste of time.

Solid overview of network programming from a Python perspective. Definitely recommended.

[Deryck Hodge · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a solid book. It's very much a "foundations" book in that's it's more for beginners to using Python for network applications. Also, it focuses on building network servers and clients using the standard library more than the more commonly used popular third-party libs, though certain libs are mentioned in sidebars. Generally, it's a nice introduction and overview, and useful for refreshing one's mind about network protocols, sockets, multitasking, etc. in Python.
