Core Python Programming . . .

I'm working my way thru the book "Core Python Programming" 2d Edition - Wesley Chun. . . Trying to figure out what he's looking for on Page 248, Exercise 6-11 (a). Is it supposed to be: 1) convert a 4-digit Integer (WXYZ) to an IP address (WWW.XXX.YYY.ZZZ) or 2) conver

sn't matter if it is the smallest grammatical edit, errors in the code, or just plain wrong or misleading information. don't believe everything you read! (sometimes writing at 2, 3, and 4a in the morning does something to your writing when you're trying to tackle a publisher

Re: Observation on "Core Python Programming"

I must say I find Wesley Chun's explanations to be most understandable. I cant' exactly figure out why yet, but he has a way of explaining something, like, say, decorators, that in minimal words elucidates for me the intent behind why they are useful. That helps me understand how they work. I just

Greetings, My copy of the second edition of Chun's "Core Python Programming" just arrived from Amazon on Friday. What really jumped out at me is an interesting feature about how it sequences its topics, namely, (user-defined) functions are not introduced until chapter 11, fully
