It teaches basic syntax and programming techniques, and introduces three inbuilt Python modules: " Tkinter, used for building a graphical user interface, which is an option that some users may like to include in their project work. " SQLite, which enables the creation and processing of a database from within a Python program. This provides an alternative to writing to a text file when data needs to be stored and retrieved " .pdb, Python's debugging module, which can be used to help find elusive logic errors. Questions and exercises are included in every chapter. Answers to these as well as over 120 Python programs for all the examples and exercises given in the book may be downloaded from www.pgonline.co.uk.These programs enable users of the book to try out the in-text examples and check possible solutions to the exercises.
