Python Examples and Sample Code

When you’re learning, small examples can be very helpful.

• The Python Standard Library (archived copy), an electronically published book by Fredrik Lundh, examines most of the modules in Python’s standard library, describing what the module does and giving a short example of its use. Note that this book is now relatively old and so misses a lot of the developments of the last two decades.

• The Python Recipes, from ActiveState, is a very large collection of code snippets, some elementary and some advanced.
