Mark Lutz's News Page
Please Note
I no longer maintain this page. Its content is very out of date, and was retained here only because it contains a bit of Python history. For up-to-date information on my Python books or Python training classes, please see my
and its
.
For more Python history, see also the
and
pages here. The first of these dates back to the time when I first opened this website, 1996, though I was active in the Python world earlier. One can probably find Python
from my various email addresses from as early as 1993, predating both the comp.lang.python newsgroup and this website (and when installing Python could still mean fetching multiple emails, concatenating, uudecoding, and hoping it all worked).
Update, February 2014: This site recently underwent a mass purge of dated files (using tools posted
), so don't be alarmed if some of the links on this page go nowhere today. This site opened in 1996 and had accumulated substantial cruft in its first 18 years, but I've retained this page's text content for whatever historical value it may hold.

(06/03) Learning Python 2nd Edition project update
I've been getting alot of personal emails asking about this lately: Yes, a 2nd Edition of the book
is in the works. I submitted a full draft of the new Part I (core language topics) on January 9th, and finished a final draft on June 9th. This new edition will cover all the new features of the Python language added in the last 4 years--list comprehensions, nested scopes, new style classes, generators, and so on. It will also cover new topics and examples presented in Python classes I teach. As a result of all the new coverage, it will likely grow by 150 to 200 pages, and be a more complete guide to the Python language. Despite the new material, it retains most of the 1st Edition's scope and flavor, and is still designed to be a first book on Python for both new and experienced programmers. We're expecting the final draft to go to production in September, which means it should be released in late 2003 (December). I've started a new page for this book
, though for now it mostly just says what this note says.

(1/03) Tkinter vs wxPython talk material posted
Awhile back, I taught a tutorial that compared and contrasted the two leading GUI toolkits for Python programming: Tkinter (the most popular and widely used, and the de facto standard), and wxPython (probably the second most popular, with a rich widget set). Because GUI toolkits are a heated topic for some people, I meant to turn this talk's material into an article. Unfortunately, Python training and books have kept me too busy, and I wound up passing the raw material to a few dozen people upon request.
To save time, and because this may be of general interest, I'm posting the tutorial's material:
. Note that this is a Word doc file, which may or may not page nicely for you. Also note that this is mostly bullets and basic examples without words, but might help if you're on the fence about Python GUI toolkits. Finally note that I may yank this for space in the future (it's about 500K); if it's not accessible at the link above, email me directly if you want a copy.
[Update: this is now a tar/gzip file, to save space; use winzip or similar to unpack.]

I've written a new 120-page introductory chapter on Python, which appears in the "Handbook of Programming Languages", Volume III, published by Macmillan in Summer 1998 (ISBN number 1-57870-010-8). This volume also includes introductions to Perl and Tcl.
The chapter is titled "Python: an Object Oriented Scripting Language", and introduces the language itself, as well as common extending and embedding techniques. There are also a few larger examples on shell tools, GUIs, and so on.

In response to reader demand, I've written a page that describes the major changes in Python and its libraries since the first edition of Programming Python was first published (October 1996). See the

(10/97) Learning Python book project under way
As announced at IPC6,
and I have started working on a new Python book for O'Reilly, to be called "Learning Python". It's going to be a short book for beginners, organized by language features, and largely based on Python training course material. We hope to have it out in the late 1998 or early 1999 timeframe, but please watch for official announcements before calling
.
So why another book? As of this writing, there are already tens of thousands of Python users around the world, thanks in large part to "Programming Python", and the other current Python books. But there are many kinds of potential readers out there. "Learning Python" will be aimed towards people without much prior programming experience, and others who just want a quick first look at the core language. (If you want a preview, imagine the "Programming Python" tutorial appendix, on steroids).
Because of this focus, I hope that "Learning Python" will introduce new audiences to Python, and help increase the Python user base in the process. "Programming Python" has already been more successful than I anticipated, and I hope that most "Learning Python" readers will eventually go on to gain a deeper and more complete understanding from "Programming Python". But Python deserves as broad an exposure as it can get. In fact, the more books we have, the better (nudge, nudge :-).
