Re: Questions on Using Python to Teach Data Structures and Algorithms



Going back to the original question, a related question: does anybody
know why there are so few books on data structures and algorithms that
use Python?

I remember that, at least ~ 12 years ago there were many (and very
good) books that used Pascal for this topic. So when I did my own
search for one in Python (just for my own consumption and
enlightnment) and could only find the same one as the original poster
of this thread [1], I was very surprised. No publishers have felt the
need to fill this gap?



Best,

R.

"Data Structures and Algorithms with Object Oriented Design Patterns"
(http://www.brpreiss.com/books/opus7/html/book.html) and was surprised.
