Part VIII. The End

This last part of the book wraps up with a single short chapter:

Chapter 24, Conclusion: Python and the Development Cycle

This chapter discusses Python’s roles and scope. It returns to some of the broader ideas that were introduced in Chapter 1, with the added perspective afforded by the rest of the book. Much of this chapter is philosophical in nature, but it underscores some of the main reasons for using a tool like Python.

Note that there are no reference appendixes here. For additional reference resources, consult the Python standard manuals available online, or commercially published reference books such as O’Reilly’s Python Pocket Reference, by Mark Lutz, and Python in a Nutshell, by Alex Martelli, as well as Python Essential Reference, by David M. Beazley (Sams).

For additional Python core language material, see O’Reilly’s Learning Python, by Mark Lutz. And for help on other Python-related topics, see the resources available at Python’s official web site, http://www.python.org, or search the Web using your favorite web search engine.
