Python in Practice presents Python programming technologies and techniques to help programmers write code that is elegant, maintainable, and fast. Drawing on both the standard library and important third-party libraries, the book shows how to achieve significant speedups using high-level concurrency and compiled Python. The book is packed with examples and ideas that illustrate a wide range of techniques and modules, encompassing high-level networking, 2D graphics, 3D graphics, and GUI programming---including concurrent GUI programming. The book is aimed at programmers who want to take their Python programming to the next level.
