Python Basic Tutorial (2nd Edition)
Tags
Summary
Editor's review
The content is organized according to classic teaching logic: from environment setup, basic syntax, and data structures to functions, modules, and object-oriented programming, proceeding step by step. Compared with some books that pursue 'showing off' or pile up the latest libraries, the 2nd edition, while keeping the basic framework stable, updates some cases and Python 3 features, better matching current production environment requirements. Its highlight is that the explanation of each concept is accompanied by short, complete code examples, allowing readers to verify immediately and get feedback; this 'learn and practice together' model is crucial for building beginners' confidence.
However, it should be pointed out that the book's positioning is very clear — building a solid foundation. It does not cover popular but advanced application areas such as machine learning or Web development, nor does it deeply explore complex topics such as performance optimization or metaprogramming. Readers who hope to quickly build a specific application (such as a crawler or a data analysis script) may find the pace slow. But it is precisely this restraint that makes it a reliable 'foundation' book. Reviews show that readers who carefully complete all exercises in the book generally report smoother subsequent learning of other advanced topics or frameworks. Therefore, the reading value of this book lies in providing an entry path without dazzling gimmicks but able to stand the test of time, suitable for self-learners willing to invest time and hoping to master Python core syntax systematically and solidly.
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Beginners with zero programming background who want to systematically learn their first programming language
- Developers with other language backgrounds who want to quickly understand Python syntax features and differences in thinking
- Teachers and students who need a clearly structured textbook with complete examples for classroom teaching
- Enthusiasts interested in Python but troubled by fragmented information who desire to build a complete knowledge system
Not a good fit for
- Readers seeking quick success and hoping to immediately develop complex projects (such as deep learning or large websites)
- Intermediate and advanced developers who have already mastered Python basics and hope to explore a specialized field in depth (such as algorithm optimization or architecture design)
Reading tips
- It is recommended to study strictly in chapter order, and be sure to type in and run every example code and understand its output
- After each chapter, try using the chapter's knowledge to solve a small problem you have imagined, even if it is just simple calculation or text processing
- Consult the official documentation (Python.org) for the basic functions and modules mentioned in the book, and initially cultivate the habit of consulting primary sources

About the author
Public information about Wang Xin is limited, and the author's profile emerges mainly from the more than a dozen works held in the library. The subjects span several fields: science fiction in translation, such as the Theodore Sturgeon collection; popular psychology and health titles, including Just the Right Kind of Help and Your Blood; and professional practical material such as Theory and Practice of Three-Level Occupational Disease Prevention. Opening the Black Box: Decoding Brain Science through 36 Classic Films reflects an effort to popularize neuroscience via cinematic examples, while Internet Plus Management Case Studies and Contingent Families address, respectively, management cases and the structural changes and ethical practices of rural Chinese families. Overall, the works combine knowledge popularization with focused research, commonly falling into categories such as science fiction, social psychology, health, popular science, applied psychology, and management, and are suitable for readers interested in cross-disciplinary general reading.
Wang Wenbing — public information about this author is limited; all that is currently known is that three of his works are included in this database, commonly classified under general computing and programming design. Judging from representative titles such as Hadoop Application Development Fundamentals, Python Basics (2nd Edition), and the Chinese Edition of Dreamweaver CC Basic Training Tutorial (Mobile Learning Edition), his writing centers on introductory computer technology and practical tool operation. These works cover three themes—big data frameworks, programming language fundamentals, and web design software—and are characterized by an orientation toward beginners, approaching basic training and application development in a way that aims to help readers master common development environments and software tools from scratch. Owing to the limited available material, details of his personal and academic background cannot yet be provided and await further supplementation.
Yang Jinyu: publicly available information is currently limited, and all that is known is that the author wrote Python Basic Tutorial (2nd Edition). The book falls under programming and design, and judging from its title and category, it is intended for readers new to the Python language, covering basic syntax and programming practice—a typical introductory technical book. The author organizes the content in tutorial form, aiming to explain the key points of the language clearly and make them easy to follow and practice, suitable for beginners or those with no prior experience to study step by step. Since the library holds only this one work, public information about Yang Jinyu's personal background, professional experience, and overall body of writing is likewise very limited, making further introduction difficult. Readers may therefore focus on the book itself: as a basic tutorial, it provides a fairly systematic knowledge framework and practice guidance for the early stages of learning Python, and can serve as a reference for beginners.
Public information about Zhai Sheping is limited. What can be confirmed is that the author wrote Python Basic Tutorial (2nd Edition), a book in the programming and design category intended for readers who want to learn the Python language systematically. From this work, it is clear that the author's writing focuses on introductory programming and the fundamentals of the language, presenting Python's syntax, usage, and common practices in a tutorial format so that readers can progress step by step. Because no reliable records of the author's biography, professional background, or other works are available, no speculation is offered here. Based on the available material, Zhai Sheping's contribution lies mainly in writing basic programming education materials, offering beginners a relatively complete learning resource for Python.
Zhao Ningshe is an author about whom limited public information is available. The only confirmed work is Python Basic Tutorial (2nd Edition), which falls under programming and design. Judging from the title and category, the book is intended for readers who want to learn Python systematically, and its content likely covers language fundamentals and introductory knowledge, making it suitable as a starting point for programming learners. Because biographical details, professional background, and other works are unavailable, a comprehensive assessment of the author's writing career and overall style is difficult. Nevertheless, this single work reflects the author's engagement with programming instruction and knowledge popularization, and it offers Chinese readers practical learning material for getting started with Python programming.
