Python HOWTOs — Python 2.7.18 documentation

This document is for an old version of Python that is no longer supported. You should upgrade and read the Python documentation for the current stable release.

# Python HOWTOs

Python HOWTOs are documents that cover a single, specific topic, and attempt to cover it fairly completely. Modelled on the Linux Documentation Project’s HOWTO collection, this collection is an effort to foster documentation that’s more detailed than the Python Library Reference.

Currently, the HOWTOs are:

- Porting Python 2 Code to Python 3
- Porting Extension Modules to Python 3
- Curses Programming with Python
- Descriptor HowTo Guide
- Idioms and Anti-Idioms in Python
- Functional Programming HOWTO
- Logging HOWTO
- Logging Cookbook
- Regular Expression HOWTO
- Socket Programming HOWTO
- Sorting HOW TO
- Unicode HOWTO
- HOWTO Fetch Internet Resources Using urllib2
