Beginning Python Links and Tutorials

Monday, January 1st, 2007

I have been learning Python for a few weeks now and here is a list of some essential links and tutorials for beginners. You would probably find these just by poking around Python’s site and Googling, but I thought they were helpful so some linkage is in order.

Dive Into Python
Python Tutorial
How to Think Like a Computer Scientist
Learn to Program
Python Types and Objects
Python 2.4 Quick Reference (latest version is 2.5, but in Ubuntu the default in the repositories is 2.4 - you can get it by looking for python2.5 - there’s a big difference between the two).
Python Frequently Asked Questions
Python Library Reference
Python Reference Manual
Python SOAP Libraries
Python Style Guide
Python Unicode Tutorial
Python Regular Expression HOWTO
Selected Python Articles
Python Database Topic Guide
Python Cookbook

I hope these links will help you as much as they helped me.

Real Public Library Reference Questions

Wednesday, March 1st, 2006

I found a weblog for a reference desk at ‘a small public library in the western US.’ It’s a list of real reference questions asked throughout the day. It’s barely a week old, but it’s updated daily.

Here’s another one, this one with answers: Reference Question of The Week is a weblog that ’shares common questions and answers handled by an academic law librarian.’

Gives you an idea of what kind of questions people are asking. This one was a little frightening:

I need information on property rights. The government is trying to take my property. I will be going to court on Monday and want to defend myself. Can you help?

I hope that one turns out okay!
