Overview of this book

Learn Python Programming, Third Edition is both a theoretical and practical introduction to Python, an extremely flexible and powerful programming language that can be applied to many disciplines. This book will make learning Python easy and give you a thorough understanding of the language. You'll learn how to write programs, build modern APIs, and work with data by using renowned Python data science libraries. This revised edition covers the latest updates on API management, packaging applications, and testing. There is also broader coverage of context managers and an updated data science chapter. The book empowers you to take ownership of writing your software and become independent in fetching the resources you need. You will have a clear idea of where to go and how to build on what you have learned from the book. Through examples, the book explores a wide range of applications and concludes by building real-world Python projects based on the concepts you have learned.

You can install these tools from the requirements/build.txt file provided with the source code of this chapter. We recommend installing these into a new virtual environment.

You should change the name in the setup.cfg file to something unique before building distribution packages. Bear in mind that this means that the filenames of your distribution packages will also be different from ours.

The build project provides a simple script for building packages according to the PEP 517 specification. It will take care of all the...
