“Accuracy. When you’re working with a technology, you’re looking
for fast and accurate solutions. At New Riders, we are taking the
steps necessary to ensure you have the most accurate Python
programming information at your side.”
“New Riders Publishing is pleased to announce the
availability of Python Essential Reference by David M.
Beazley. Python Essential Reference is the definitive guide to
the Python programming language. Designed specifically for
programmers, it covers the core Python language, more than 100
modules in the standard library, and the extension-building
techniques used to integrate Python with programs written in C and
C++. The coverage expands upon and clarifies existing Python
documentation–especially for advanced topics including operating
system interfaces, threads, and network programming.”
“In working with New Riders, one of Mr. Beazley’s requirements
was that we be as accurate as possible in our publishing efforts.
He is so pleased with the outcome and with the quality of the book
that he told us, “The bottom line is that I stand behind the
technical accuracy of the book (and have tried very hard to get
everything right). However, to encourage feedback from the
community and to acknowledge the contributions without which the
book would have been impossible, I am setting up an online bug
database with the following challenge: For each technical error
found in the book, I will personally donate $10.00 to the PSA
(Python Software Activity).” According to Laurie Petrycki, New
Riders Open Source Executive Editor, “New Riders believes in the
accuracy of Dave’s book, as well as in supporting the Open Source
community. Therefore, we will match his contribution to the PSA.
New Riders will also present each valid error reporter with a
complimentary copy of a New Riders or MTP title.”
