✦ Synopsis

This is a excellent REFERENCE book -- thorough, concise, and well-indexed. It is not a tutorial. It is not a textbook.

I have found this to be my "go to" book when looking for details and nuances about aspects of Python. Information about a given topic can almost always be found here, when it might only appear in one of eight other excellent Python books. You will still need other books for examples, tutorial coverage, etc., of Python topics.
