## Read Dive Into Python

This book is still being written. The first three chapters are a solid overview of Python programming. Chapters covering HTML processing, XML processing, and unit testing are complete, and a chapter covering regression testing is in progress. This is not a teaser site for some larger work for sale; all new content will be published here, for free, as soon as it’s ready. You can read the revision history to see what’s new.
