This second edition of Foundations of Python Network Programming
targets Python 2.5 through Python 2.7, the most popular production
versions of the language. Python has made great strides since
Apress released the first edition of this book back in the days of
Python 2.3. The advances required new chapters to be written from
the ground up, and others to be extensively revised. You will learn
fundamentals like IP, TCP, DNS and SSL by using working Python
programs; you will also be able to familiarize yourself with
infrastructure components like memcached and message queues. You
can also delve into network server designs, and compare threaded
approaches with asynchronous event-based solutions. But the biggest
change is this edition's expanded treatment of the web. The HTTP
protocol is covered in extensive detail, with each feature
accompanied by sample Python code. You can use your HTTP protocol
expertise by studying an entire chapter on screen scraping and you
can then test lxml and BeautifulSoup against a real-world web site.
The chapter on web application programming now covers both the WSGI
standard for component interoperability, as well as modern web
frameworks like Django. Finally, all of the old favorites from the
first edition are back: E-mail protocols like SMTP, POP, and IMAP
get full treatment, as does XML-RPC. You can still learn how to
code Python network programs using the Telnet and FTP protocols,
but you are likely to appreciate the power of more modern
alternatives like the paramiko SSH2 library. If you are a Python
programmer who needs to learn the network, this is the book that
you want by your side.
