"El libro es espectacular, pero venia con la tapa rota. Entiendo que el material es blando, pero deberia haber llegado integro."
Martin Pedros Lunes 15 de Mayo, 2023"Excelente libro. Estoy estudiando Pyhon y aunque el libro ya tiene sus años esta lleno de conceptos teoricos que ayuda mucho a la hora de entender el lenguaje."
Darwin Ayrton Espejo Quintana Miércoles 31 de Agosto, 2022"Es un libro que abarcar tanto Python 2 y 3. Además, profundiza en los conceptos. El mismo autor indica que debe ser visto como un libro para un semestre de estudios."
