Foundations of Python Network Programming · 3rd Edition

To guide readers through the new scripting language, Python, this book

discusses every aspect of client and server programming. And as Python begins

to replace Perl as a favorite programming language, this book will benefit

scripters and serious application developers who want a feature-rich, yet

simple language, for deploying their products.

The text explains multitasking network servers using several models, including

forking, threading, and non-blocking sockets. Furthermore, the extensive

examples demonstrate important concepts and practices, and provide a cadre of

fully-functioning stand alone programs. Readers may even use the provided

examples as building blocks to create their own software.
