Do you want to learn about Python? Do you want to understand how to program in Python?

This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth introduction to the Python language itself. Its goal is to help you master Python fundamentals before moving on to apply them in your work.

What is Python and why should you use it? Python is “an interpreted, object-oriented high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. These terms will become clear as you read this book. First thing I want you to know is that Python is a programming language that knows how to stay out of your way when you write your programs.

Even though Python might not be as fast as compiled languages such as C or C++, what you save in programming time will probably be worth using it, and in most programs, the speed difference won’t be noticeable anyway. If you are a C programmer, you can easily implement the critical parts of your program in C at a later date and have them interoperate with the Python parts. If you haven’t done any programming before (and perhaps are a bit confused by my references to C and C++), Python’s combination of simplicity and power makes it an ideal choice as a place to start.

This book is for those of you who want to learn how to program in Python. It is intended to suit a wide audience, from neophyte programmer to advanced computer wiz. If you have never programmed before, you should start by reading Chapter 1 and continue until you find that things get advanced to you.
