Things to Read

There are a number of topics that I decided not to cover in this book, for which free tutorials exist.

• Charming Python: Decorators make magic easy
• Function Definitions in the official Python documentation

Descriptors:

• How-To Guide For Descriptors

In addition, Doug Hellman’s Python Module of the Week is a fantastic guide to many of the modules in the Python standard library.

Where To Look For Python 3-Compatible Code

As Python 3 is relatively new, there is a dearth of compatible libraries. Here are some of the places to look for code that works with Python 3.

• Python Package Index: list of Python 3 packages
• Python Cookbook: list of recipes tagged “python3”
• Google Project Hosting: list of projects tagged “python3”
• SourceForge: list of projects matching “Python 3”
• GitHub: list of projects matching “python3” (also, list of projects matching “python 3”)
• BitBucket: list of projects matching “python3” (and those matching “python 3”)
