I am from the UK and been programming in Python since before that domain was registered and happy to help.

Am I missing something, if you go to Amazon.co.uk and search for "python" (not just in books, but a top level saerch) - (e.g. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%...) the top results are all books about the Python programming language published in the UK.

Similarly search for "Python" on any Uk based jobs site

http://jobsearch.monster.co.uk/jobs/?q=Python&cy=uk http://www.technojobs.co.uk/search.phtml/Python/searchfield/...

(can provide many more such links if you need)

There is no doubt about what Python means.



Thanks - this is a great thought. Our UK lawyers are going to be receiving a pretty decent Python library. :)

Are there similar books in German, Italian, French, and Spanish?


French one: http://www.amazon.fr/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C...

First ten results are about Python the language. Search not restricted to computer programming books. One of the book published in 2007.


Here is a french magazine with python on the cover in 2000: http://www.ed-diamond.com/produit.php?ref=lmag17&id_rubr...

I remember some other french magazine having a python introduction from a bit before.

I also have some really old SuSE CDs from that point in time with python on it.


Swedish book https://www.adlibris.com/se/product.aspx?isbn=9144045204
