Good overview
It is very good written with many source examples. This book is offers very broad and detailed information about python's network features. The only thing with this book (like many other python books) is, that this book was published early 2003. So things lik "SOAP" or "Twisted" are only scratched. This book really shows the fundamental features of python networking.
Superb
Mr. Clearly written with tons of practical examples. Goerzen has a very deep understanding of internet protocols, network programming, and the Python libraries. If you are ever going to use Python to send or receive emails, write web servers, or anything else you can think of that has to do with internet, you should not hesitate to buy this book, far and away the best Python network/internet book on the market.
Book fills in an a gap
There are a lot of books about the programming language Python - good books and not so good books. The author fills an important gap in writing this book. These books surely are scratching the topic of network programming. But if you want to develop certain client-server applications in Python these books do not really help very much.
"Python Network Programming" explains this topic in detail starting with quite basic things up to special applications. A certain number of examples completes this well written book.
