(BQ) Part 2 book "Programming python" has contents: Network scripting, client side scripting, the PyMailGUI client, server-side scripting, the PyMailCGI server, databases and persistence, data structures, python C integration, python and the development cycle. | PART IV Internet Programming This part of the book explores Python’s role as a language for programming Internetbased applications, and its library tools that support this role. Along the way, system and GUI tools presented earlier in the book are put to use as well. Because this is a popular Python domain, chapters here cover all fronts: Chapter 12 This chapter introduces Internet concepts and options, presents Python low-level network tools such as sockets, and covers client and server basics. Chapter 13 This chapter shows you how your scripts can use Python to access common clientside network protocols like FTP, email, HTTP, and more. Chapter 14 This chapter uses the client-side email tools covered in the prior chapter, as well as the GUI techniques of the prior part, to implement a full-featured email client. Chapter 15 This chapter introduces the basics of Python server-side Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts—a kind of program used to implement interactive websites. Chapter 16 This chapter demonstrates Python website techniques by implementing a webbased email tool on a server, in part to compare and contrast with Chapter 14’s nonweb approach. Although they are outside this book’s scope, Chapter 12 also provides brief overviews of more advanced Python Internet tools best covered in follow-up resources, such as Jython, Django, App Engine, Zope, PSP, pyjamas, and HTMLgen. Here, you’ll learn the fundamentals needed to use such tools when you’re ready to step up. Along the way, we’ll also put general programming concepts such as object-oriented programming (OOP) and code refactoring and reuse to work here. As we’ll see, Python, GUIs, and networking are a powerful combination. CHAPTER 12 Network Scripting “Tune In, Log On, and Drop Out” Over the 15 years since this book was first published, the Internet has virtually exploded onto the mainstream stage. It has rapidly grown from a simple communication device used primarily by academics and researchers .
