Thin book, highly focused on the important stuff
Loved it. Great coverage of generators, comprehensions and decorators. Very glad to see evangelism for unit testing.
Excellent for intermediate developers
I thought I was progressing along pretty well in my quest learning Python. This book (the pre published version) changed all that and unlocked a deeper understanding of the language and better mental models for writing production worthy code. There is an ocean of material for beginners and some for more experienced developers but very little for those in-between. This book fills that void perfectly by explaining how crucial aspects of Python works and ways to incorporate that knowledge into your everyday code.

It’s not a comprehensive book about Python, but it focuses on aspects which are confusing. That’s perfect, isn’t it?!
Concise and useful.
