About the Author

David Mertz, Ph.D., has been a member of the Python community for a long time: about 25 years—long enough to remember what was new about Python 1.5 versus 1.4. He has followed the development of the language closely, given keynote talks about many of the changes over versions, and his writing has had a modicum of influence on the directions Python and popular libraries for it have taken. David has taught Python to scientists, developers coming from other languages, and programming neophytes.
