Perl to Python: A Transition Guide

About the Book

This book provides a bridge for developers familiar with Perl to understand and adapt to Python. While both are powerful scripting languages with a rich heritage, their semantics, libraries, and idiosyncrasies can be quite different. This guide breaks down these differences across various modules, making the transition smooth and systematic.
