Master the Powerful Python 3 Standard Library through Real Code Examples The genius of Doug s approach is that with 15 minutes per week any motivated programmer can learn the Python Standard Library. Doug s guided tour will help you flip the switch to fully power-up Python s batteries. -Raymond Hettinger Distinguished Python Core Developer The Python 3 Standard Library contains hundreds of modules for interacting with the operating system interpreter and Internet-all extensively tested and ready to jump-start application development. Now Python expert Doug Hellmann introduces every major area of the Python 3.x library through concise source code and output examples. Hellmann s examples fully demonstrate each feature and are designed for easy learning and reuse. You ll find practical code for working with text data structures algorithms dates/times math the file system persistence data exchange compression archiving crypto processes/threads networking Internet capabilities email developer and language tools the runtime packages and more. Each section fully covers one module with links to additional resources making this book an ideal tutorial and reference. The Python 3 Standard Library by Example introduces Python 3.x s new libraries significant functionality changes and new layout and naming conventions. Hellmann also provides expert porting guidance for moving code from 2.x Python standard library modules to their Python 3.x equivalents. Manipulate text with string textwrap re (regular expressions) and difflib Use data structures: enum collections array heapq queue struct copy and more Implement algorithms elegantly and concisely with functools itertools and contextlib Handle dates/times and advanced mathematical tasks Archive and data compression Understand data exchange and persistence including json dbm and sqlite Sign and verify messages cryptographically Manage concurrent operations with processes and threads Test debug compile profile language import and package tools Control interaction at runtime with interpreters or the environment
