Synopsis:
Don't waste time bending Python to fit patterns you've learned in other languages. Python's simplicity lets you become productive quickly, but often this means you aren't using everything the language has to offer. With the updated edition of this hands-on guide, you'll learn how to write effective, modern Python 3 code by leveraging its best ideas.
Discover and apply idiomatic Python 3 features beyond your past experience. Author Luciano Ramalho guides you through Python's core language features and libraries and teaches you how to make your code shorter, faster, and more readable.
Complete with major updates throughout, this new edition features five parts that work as five short books within the book:
- Data structures: Sequences, dicts, sets, Unicode, and data classes
- Functions as objects: First-class functions, related design patterns, and type hints in function declarations
- Object-oriented idioms: Composition, inheritance, mixins, interfaces, operator overloading, protocols, and more static types
- Control flow: Context managers, generators, coroutines, async/await, and thread/process pools
- Metaprogramming: Properties, attribute descriptors, class decorators, and new class metaprogramming hooks that replace or simplify metaclasses
About the Author: Luciano Ramalho is a Principal Consultant at ThoughtWorks and a fellow of the Python Software Foundation.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Not used, but with some details on the front cover edges. The rest of the book is in excellent? conditions (see the pictures). This book is an essential, exhaustive resource for any developer determined to write truly idiomatic Pythonic programming. This comprehensive guide serves as a technical deep dive into the core mechanics of the language, pushing intermediate users toward mastery. The book's structure masterfully breaks down complex subjects. Its updated content is particularly valuable, offering extensive coverage of Python type hints and the implementation of robust static type checking using tools like mypy. The chapters on control flow and concurrency have been completely revised to reflect the modern state of async concurrency in Python, focusing heavily on the performance benefits of the async/await syntax and the asyncio ecosystem for writing efficient, non-blocking code. Ramalho excels at demystifying advanced features. He provides a superb breakdown of the Python data model and special methods (or dunder methods), showing how they underpin the language's expressive syntax. Other critical topics include the use of dataclasses for cleaner object creation, advanced generators and context managers, and the often-misunderstood art of metaprogramming through attribute descriptors and class decorators. If you are a working software engineer aiming to move beyond functional scripts and write truly efficient Python code that leverages the language's full power?from custom Abstract Base Classes (ABCs) to operator overloading?this book is your definitive guide to achieving professional-grade fluency. ?.
