Python

Did someone read it?
Now I'm looking for good literature on Python. Interested in developing simple applications for automating routine admin tasks (monitors, backups, parsing logs). Roughly speaking, how to use python as a more advanced alternative to bash scripts.
More examples would be welcome.

The title of the book fits perfectly, but the reviews about it are somehow sad.
Maybe someone will cheer up with good reviews, or advise something more sensible.

Answer 1

and you download the book (for sure, a separate chapter can be downloaded somewhere even legally), look through it on your computer - and make your own decision. In principle, I used Python to automate system administrator tasks and, not knowing about this book, and even not having paper books at all, purely out of enthusiasm, I figured it out from the docks on the Internet.

Answer 2

there is exactly this book in pdf, I don’t even pretend to be a programmer, but I learned a lot for myself. Even the one in python, which I did not suspect.

Answer 3

I read it, the first chapters are even useful, the rest you can scroll through and read something purely pythonic and / or purely administrative. 4 tr. not worth it anyway.

Answer 4

The book is in Russian, firstly. And in the "legal" for 250 rubles on Buks.ru secondly.
There is something about typical tasks (parsing, etc.), something about ipython, although it is not an analogue of bash, of course, work with various typical tasks. A bit even about Django :)
For my taste, a little eclectical in places, but if you look at all the examples, this is probably not the worst and most useless way to learn Python.
