Python Programming, An Introduction to Computer Science (3 ed)

This third edition of John Zelle’s Python Programming continues the tradition of updating the text to reflect new technologies while maintaining a time-tested approach to teaching introductory computer science.

An important change to this edition is the removal of most uses of eval and the addition of a discussion of its dangers. In our increasingly connected world, it’s never too early to begin considering computer security issues.

This edition also uses several new graphics examples, developed throughout chapters 4-12.
