Just what I was looking for
I bought this to go along with an online class I was taking. The book is well written and set up and has provided the perfect compliment. The author uses a lot of examples and encourages looking up documentation for extra practice

Reasonable for Intermediate Python Learner, some topics too skimpy
This is a reasonable book for intermediate python learners. As others have said, if Python is your first language and you are a beginner (< 1year coding), I would skip this book. This book is reasonable for covering the intermediate topics after basic data structures (list, dictionary, set, tuple, array, tuple unpacking, list comprehension) and basic control flow, function and class. I picked up this books for more in-depth help with collections, maps, filter, enumerate, generator, decorator, debugging, testing, profiling, web scraping, etc. Some topics are reasonable for this, but some topics are too sparse and there's not enough there. Book has many pages but the formatting is off so many pages only have 1 -3 lines of text. So the content look bigger than it is. Still, there are not that many reasonably good book for the intermediate user, so I gave it 4 stars.Book has an issue with code text becoming too small or faint (on print version), sometimes making it difficult to read. I got the kindle version. If your screen resolution is high, body text will be a good size but the code text will be tiny. You can adjust zoom or downsize monitor resolution. Print version, can't fix the faint code text, but you can download the whole code files from URL provided by the author (front first pages). More importantly, you can view the code online on a screen as you type them to your Python terminal. Hope that helps.

Hard to Follow
I found this book hard to follow for learning Python. Instead, I would recommend Udemy and Coursera courses that cover Python.

I find books by this publisher are very hit and miss but this one is definitely a hit for me.I’ve been programming for more than 10 years but totally new to Python and found for me the book was paced well and structured well and covered a good breadth of the topic.I also enjoyed the enthusiasm with which the subject matter was presented and occasional dashes of humour to keep things from getting too dry.

Full of good information but hard to follow due to it not really for beginners
