Very Short and Not very good

This book, for the price, delivers less than the average For Dummies book. One could say that good things come in small packages. It doesn't give enough ofbasic Python for my taste - just one example - 6 pages on Python syntax. Yes, it covers a lot of ground. No, it doesn't really prepare a person to do useful work with Python. It prepares a person to learn Python from some other source. That's my opinion. Get a big 600 page book on Python, and use this one as a supplemental information. So, why buy it? Because it does cover a lot of ground, and it does lay a proper foundation for further learning.
