Its aimed at the beginning programmer with no knowlege of other programming languages. It is based on the very old version 1.5.1 of Python. It is a tutorial not a reference. OTOH I found it quite an accessible book, and particularly good on the Tkinter GUI framework, with 3 full chapters. And if you are interested in Mayan calendars and Python it's essential reading. And the Mandelbrot example is fun too. Given your other post I'd reckon that Learning Python or Core Python might be better bets. Both will last longer as references after you know the basics. I assume you have already tackled the official Python web tutorial which is execellent?
