　　Learning Python, Fourth Edition

　　Google and YouTube use Python because it’s highly adaptable, easy to maintain, and allows for rapid development.

It’s an easy-to-follow self-paced tutorial, based on author and Python expert Mark Lutz’s popular training course.

　　Each chapter contains a stand-alone lesson on a key component of the language, and includes a unique Test Your Knowledge section with practical exercises and quizzes, so you can practice new skills and test your understanding as you go. You’ll find lots of annotated examples and illustrations to help you get started with Python 3.0.
