“ActiveState & O’Reilly & Assoc. partner on unique open
content effort.”
“ActiveState, the leader in open source programming languages,
and O’Reilly & Associates Inc., the premier technology book
publisher, have partnered on the first of its kind collaborative
programming book, the Python Cookbook. The cookbook will be a
repository of rigorously reviewed Python recipes that have been
contributed by the Python community for the community, which will
be freely available for download.”
“I’m very glad to be part of this community effort,” said Guido
van Rossum, the creator of Python. “This fills a need in the Python
community for a reviewed, centralized repository of Python
solutions and examples.”
“The Python Cookbook will be freely available for review and use
from the ActiveState website. As a community effort, it is
different from any other project. The book will be a compilation of
recipes contributed by the Python community, along with examples
and recommended solutions by core Python contributors. It is
intended to be a handy reference for programmers of all
levels.”
