The following lists known Python books and other major publications, as of the latest update to this page (at various points in 2002). I've tried to group these into some sort of logical fashion (e.g., topic, author), but please don't read anything into the list order here. Given the rapid growth this domain is currenty experiencing, I tend to not keep this list very up to date, and I am probably missing a few entries. Check the python.org book list or commercial sites such as amazon.com for more information, as well as cover photos and links. New: another independent Python books list lives at this site.
