I'm planning on covering several of the more popular intermediate-level modules from Python's standard library, such as collections, contextlib, functools and itertools. > > I am also going to be covering benchmarking, encryption, connecting to databases, etc. > > There is a section on Web-related chapters. While I don't plan to cover a web framework, I am going to cover other items related to working with the internet using Python. I do plan to talk about creating a web crawler / scraper, but I hadn't decided if I was going to use scrapy for that or not. I also plan to write about working with web APIs, such as Amazon's or Google's APIs. There will probably be some kind of chapter about Selenium / Web Driver too. I have some other ideas too. > > I hope that answered your question. > > Mike > -- > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list That absolutely answers my questions. I'll keep an eye out for your book when it is realeased. It seems like it will cover some topics that could be useful in continuing my learning. I am especially interested in encryption as that is something I have yet to dive into.
