Hello,

I wonder if anyone read this:
http://www.amazon.com/PYTHON-2-6-Extending-Embedding-documentation/dp/1441419608/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1277214352&sr=1-7
or this:
http://www.amazon.com/Python-Extending-Embedding-Documentation-Manual/dp/1441412743/ref=pd_sim_b_3

Are these books just a print out of the manual that comes w/ Python
distribution or they are written in a different way and more organized
way?

Thanks,
Elias

Hi again,

Well, it seems the printed version of the manual. Can anyone suggest a
nice book to learn more about the Python C Api?

Thanks,
Elias

It's not really a book, but how about the source ?

If you're a competent C programmer you're not really
going to even need a pretty book now are you ? :)

Hi James,

For me it is not a matter of competency to seek a book: organized,
structured and uniform way of presenting information.

Nonetheless, I always refer to the sources to get my questions
answered...but a book (with the qualities I mentioned above) would
make everyone's life easier.

:)

I've never come across a published book *only* on the C API. The
main docs [1] aren't bad, in my opinion, although what suits one person
won't necessarily suit another. Mark Lutz's Programming Python [2]
includes a couple of chapters which are essentially an alternative
take on the material in the docs. There are a few published articles
around, although not many I think. And there's the C-API mailing list [3]
which is quite helpful.
