network and socket programming in python

simpu · 2010-09-04 03:23:01

i want to learn network and socket programming but i would like to do this in python.Reason behind this is that python is very simple and the only language i know .
anybody can suggest me which book should i pick.
the book should have following specification--
1)not tedious to follow
2)lots of example
3)starts with some networking stuff and then get into codes

thanks in advance with regards.

hmm. well, your requirements are almost contradictory.

Not sure about books, except maybe dusty's.

Most python books cover at least some network programming (unless the book is topic specific).

I use lots of python-twisted at work. I mean ALOT. I wouldn't recommend it to someone looking for non-tedious though! I also like gevent/eventlet (esp. the async socket wrappers).

EDIT: Wow. My post wasn't really helpful at all. Sorry!

The Python Cookbook is mostly examples and does have some networking and socket examples. Not sure how elaborate you are looking for but maybe a book worth checking out while you are there.

EDIT: It looks like my post was as helpful as cactus'

If you already know how to program, I think the python docs themselves are an excellent resource.
