A review of "Python In a Nutshell" by Alex Martelli; O'Reilly Media

Python in a Nutshell provides a comprehensive introduction
and coverage of Python. For people with basic object oriented
programming background, the book can quickly gives a good
overview and coverage of the most fundamental core concepts
of Python. Then the book goes on to discuss different aspects
of Python. The advantage of this approach is that you could
quickly get an overview of Python, and could selectively
read the remaining chapters or as references at hand.

I particular like the indepth discussions of Chapter 5
Object-oriented Python where different aspects of Python
OOP from other OOP programming languages are well
explained, and greatly helped me.
