1 A Byte of Python

"A Byte of Python’ is a free book on programming using the Python language.

It serves as a tutorial or guide to the Python language for a beginner audience.

If all you know about computers is how to save text files, then this is the book

for you.

This book is written for the latest Python 3, even though Python 2 is the

commonly found version of Python today (read more about it in Python 2 versus

3 section).

1.1 Who Reads A Byte of Python?

Here are what people are saying about the book:

The best thing i found was “A Byte of Python”, which is simply a

brilliant book for a beginner. It’s well written, the concepts are well

explained with self evident examples.

Hi, I’m from Dominican Republic. My name is Pavel, recently I read

your book "A Byte of Python’ and I consider it excellent!! :). I learnt

much from all the examples. Your book is of great help for newbies

like me. . .

I recently finished reading Byte of Python, and I thought I really

ought to thank you. I was very sad to reach the final pages as I now

have to go back to dull, tedious oreilly or etc. manuals for learning

about python. Anyway, I really appreciate your book.

Dear Swaroop, I am taking a class from an instructor that has no

interest in teaching. We are using Learning Python, second edition,

by O’Reilly. It is not a text for beginner without any programming

knowledge, and an instructor that should be working in another field.

Thank you very much for your book, without it I would be clueless

about Python and programming. Thanks a million, you are able to

"break the message down’ to a level that beginners can understand

and not everyone can.

I love your book! It is the greatest Python tutorial ever, and a very

useful reference. Brilliant, a true masterpiece! Keep up the good

work!

– Chris-André Sommerseth

I’m just e-mailing you to thank you for writing Byte of Python online.

I had been attempting Python for a few months prior to stumbling

across your book, and although I made limited success with pyGame,

I never completed a program.

Thanks to your simplification of the categories, Python actually seems

a reachable goal. It seems like I have finally learned the foundations

and I can continue into my real goal, game development.

Once again, thanks VERY much for placing such a structured and

helpful guide to basic programming on the web. It shoved me into

and out of OOP with an understanding where two text books had

failed.

I would like to thank you for your book "A byte of python’ which i

myself find the best way to learn python. I am a 15 year old i live

in egypt my name is Ahmed. Python was my second programming

language i learn visual basic 6 at school but didn’t enjoy it, however

i really enjoyed learning python. I made the addressbook program

and i was sucessful. i will try to start make more programs and read

python programs (if you could tell me source that would be helpful).

I will also start on learning java and if you can tell me where to find

a tutorial as good as yours for java that would help me a lot. Thanx.

Yesterday I got through most of Byte of Python on my Nokia N800

and it’s the easiest and most concise introduction to Python I have

yet encountered. Highly recommended as a starting point for learning
