There is a quote mistakenly attributed to Mark Twain which say something like "I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time". The quote is really from Pascal and it is butchered but that is beside the point.
This book on Python is quite simply the shortest and most concise work on the topic to date. It is like getting just enough of the cookbooks and reference books and boiling it down to just enough to fit in your back pocket. Authoring this puppy must have been painful but I do appreciate it.

This book is essentially a collection of code snippets that includes a brief discussion and example to support each. I have found a few things to be wrong, either because they are typos or because the version of Python used is 2.4 (I was using 2.7.x when I tried some of the examples).

Whether you are just starting to learn python or are a seasoned programmer this is a great reference book. Good balance of code examples and technical explanations.
