19.1. "Give Me an Order of Persistence, but Hold the Pickles"
19.1. “给我一份持久化，但不要加泡菜”
So far in this book, we've used Python in the system programming, GUI development, and Internet scripting domainsthree of Python's most common applications, and representative of its use as an application programming language at large. In the next three chapters, we're going to take a quick look at other major Python programming topics: persistent data, data structure techniques, and text- and language-processing tools. None of these is covered exhaustively (each could easily fill a book alone), but we'll sample Python in action in these domains and highlight their core concepts. If any of these chapters spark your interest, additional resources are readily available in the Python world.
本书到目前为止，我们已经在系统编程、GUI开发，和因特网脚本中使用了Python，Python主要作为一种应用编程语言，这3个是它最普遍的应用领域，也代表了它典型的用途。在下面3章中，我们将浏览Python编程中其他重要的主题：持久数据、数据结构技术，和文本及语言处理工具。这些主题不会完备地讨论（每个都可以轻易地单独成书），但我们将在这些范围中实践Python，并突出它们的核心概念。如果其中有的章节点燃了你的兴趣，你可以在Python世界中找到另外的资料。
