this competitive age, high productivity, tight deadlines, and short development cycles are the buzzwords in the application development world. These are the reasons why software developers prefer rapid application development (RAD) tools like Python. Python is a portable, interpreted, object-oriented programming language. It com- bines remarkable power with very clear syntax. Moreover, its high-level built-in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attrac- tive for rapid application development. Python is being used successfully to glue together large software components. It spans multiple platforms, middleware products, and application domains. Python has been around since 1991, and it has a very active user community. Python can fulfill an important integration role in the design of large applications with a long life expectancy. It allows a fast response to changes in user requirements that require adapting the higher-level application logic without changing the fundamental underlying components. It also allows quick adaptation of the application to changes in the under- lying components. Guido van Rossum, CNRI Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python’s elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas on most platforms. www.python.org This book is an attempt to bridge the ever-increasing gap between the market demand and the availability of Python expertise. The first step to becoming an expert is acquiring an in-depth knowledge of Python, and that is exactly what this book has to offer. It begins with the basics of scripting and seamlessly moves to programming intricacies.
