Python 3: Pocket Primer

by James R. Parker

This book is an effort to give programmers sufficient knowledge of Python 3 to be able to work on their own projects. In addition to covering all of the basic concepts, the book features a chapter on PyGame which allows a programmer to handle graphics, mouse and keyboard interaction, and play sounds and videos. Another feature is the chapter on communication, which makes use of one of Python’s best a collection of modules for sending and receiving Email, communicating between computers, and working with Twitter and Web pages. Companion files that accompany this book contain all of the code examples as complete working programs. This means that there is no need to key them in, so they can be executed and perhaps modified or expanded.

The book covers the essential elements of the Python programming language however there are concepts that are not introduced late (writing binary files was not introduced in the chapter for files), and some are repeated.
