Good books on python
After doing some random scripting with Python, I want to actually learn how to use it properly. So I am looking for a decent book on Python. I would use it mostly for numerical stuff, but also some file i/o and simple gui's. I do have some but not extensive programming experience in java and matlab. Any recommendations ?
Good books on python
For the basics just google "Python cheat sheet"; for file I/O specifically check out the docs on the "os" module at python.org/doc/For numerical stuff you'll want to check out SciPy and NumPy. There's an ebook on NumPy hereO'Reilly publishes a few books on Python if you prefer actual paper to the web; pretty much anything from them is bound to be good.
