Do you want to take your Python to the next level?
Python is easy to learn. You can learn the basics in a day and be productive with it. But there are more advanced constructs that you will eventually run across if you spend enough time with it. Don't be confused by these. Learn them, embrace them, and improve your code and others.

Combines Three Guides into one Book
This book is composed of three popular guides:
Guide to: Functional Python & Comprehension Constructs
Guide to: Learning Iteration & Generators in Python
Guide to: Learning Python Decorators
Write Python code like the masters
These constructs, while not necessary per se, allow you to be more succinct, re-use code, and think about code in a different way. You will learn:
How the constructs work
When to use them
Real life examples from the standard library
Understand other's code This book covers many of these intermediate constructs that are available in Python. The book covers both Python 2 and 3. Topics include:
Functional programmingÂ
List comprehensions
Generator expressions
Set & dict comprehensionsÂ
IterationÂ
GeneratorsÂ
ClosuresÂ
Decorators
Based on popular tutorials and sessionsÂ
I have taught material similar to these constructs at popular tutorials at conferences such as PyCon, OSCON and Strata (and other conferences). This book is based on my experience teaching and using Python for many years. I hope you learn something while in the course of your reading. Maybe it will help you in your next task, code review, or job interview.
