-* Exactly when Python calls the __del__() special method is incredibly complicated. To fully understand it, you need to know how Python keeps track of objects in memory. Here’s a good article on Python garbage collection and class destructors. You should also read about weak references, the weakref module, and probably the gc module for good measure.

Iterators are everywhere in Python 3, and I understand them a lot better than I did five years ago when I wrote “Dive Into Python”. You need to understand them too, because lots of functions that used to return lists in Python 2 will now return iterators in Python 3. At a minimum, you should read the second half of the Iterators chapter and the second half of the Advanced Iterators chapter. -

When I was writing “Dive Into Python”, all of the available XML libraries sucked. Then Fredrik Lundh wrote ElementTree, which doesn’t suck at all. The Python gods wisely incorporated ElementTree into the standard library, and now it forms the basis for my new XML chapter. The old ways of parsing XML are still around, but you should avoid them, because they suck! diff --git a/where-to-go-from-here.html b/where-to-go-from-here.html index c08daca7..ed9280cc 100644 --- a/where-to-go-from-here.html +++ b/where-to-go-from-here.html @@ -39,8 +39,8 @@

Nearly all the chapters in this book revolve around a piece of sample code. But XML isn’t about code; it’s about data. One common use of XML is “syndication feeds” that list the latest articles on a blog, forum, or other frequently-updated website. Most popular blogging software can produce a feed and update it whenever new articles, discussion threads, or blog posts are published. You can follow a blog by “subscribing” to its feed, and you can follow multiple blogs with a dedicated “feed aggregator” like Google Reader. -
