There is a lot of common information on python, however this book has surprised me several times with new and important information how to work with python in a business environment. The book contains a wealth of information, to name a few proper system setup, virtual machines, new features, resources and robust programming.The book provided insights in setting up the virtual environments and separation on system level of applications. Based on this the design of the environment to develop and deploy python applications was changed. The saving in time and resources will be significant.The book is a must have for the professional python programmer. Actually, anyone using python as the main programming language should have this book on the shelf (after reading it of course ;) )

I enjoyed learning from this book, although I'm not very experienced with Python I'm a very experienced developer in other type safe and non type safe languages so I didn't find my lack of Python experience limiting as a lot of the concepts I already use and understood.That said I'd would have loved an end to end solution of a non trival application that would have shown how to apply what's taught in the book with perhaps how a larger app structure could look like.It's still a fantastic read as is, and I've learned a bunch about Python

The media could not be loaded. I have about two years of experience using Python, and I find this book very helpful in moving forward. The first chapter gets everyone off to a great start by sharing ideas about how to stay up-to-date with Python, as the language inevitably changes, and where to find Python community. All of the chapters are important and contain great information. I particularly like Chapter 4 which compares Python to other languages, and emphasizes that just because you might be able to write code as you would in another language, that is not necessarily the "Python way", nor the best way to do it in Python. The chapter identifies places where programmers might try things they really shouldn't. I have combined C/C++ code with Python, and so, I enjoyed reviewing the chapter which covers this topic. I closely read and enjoyed the chapter on Optimizing Code, one way of course is via choosing the best data structure. This helps the programmer learn not just what data structures are available but provides info on how data structures can impact performance. I have not had to profile code, but I think Chapter 12 would be very useful on that. I am very interested in going further and carefully reading the chapters on Interfaces, Patterns, and Modularity, on Testing and QA, as well as Concurrency, and Meta-programming. There is a lot of great material here.
