Intuitive Python - Productive Development for Projects that Last
Developers power their projects with Python because it emphasizes readability, ease of use, and access to a meticulously maintained set of packages and tools. The language itself continues to improve with every release: writing in Python is full of possibility. But to maintain a successful Python project, you need to know more than just the language. You need tooling and instincts to help you make the most out of what’s available to you. Use this book as your guide to help you hone your skills and sculpt a Python project that can stand the test of time.
No matter your experience level or background, Python’s batteries-included standard library and rich third-party ecosystem provide a solid foundation to build your projects on. With the right intuition and background knowledge, you can take advantage of all the power Python offers. Take a guided tour of some of Python’s high points to craft a project that you can sustain and build on for a long time.
Run static analysis tools to detect and eliminate classes of bugs before you run code. Experiment with Python’s concurrency model and develop patterns for using Python’s thread and process abstractions to their full potential. Introduce yourself to Python’s type hinting system: mypy. Download and run third-party Python packages and do so safely without compromising on security. Debug code using Python’s built in debugger, and try procedures out in the interactive console. Run your code under new versions of the Python interpreter to unlock performance and usability improvements. All along the way, sharpen your Python instincts so you can keep your code clean and reduce the chance of bugs.
Mine Python for all you can by playing to its strengths and embracing patterns that harness its potential.

Este es un muy buen libro para avanzar en tu habilidad de escribir Python complejo. Explora cosas como paquetes de la biblioteca estándar de Python para debuggear y manejar las colecciones de manera más efectiva. También te da las bases de concurrencia, uso de SQLite y uso de linters y formateadores para el código.
La parte que más me gustó y que me hubiera gustado tener más amplia es acerca de los errores comunes en programación de Python: usar argumentos default mutables, manejo de fechas en formatos locales, importaión de módulos completos, etc.
Es un excelente libro si quieres aprender a desarrollar Python de mejor manera. El único punto que no me gustó es que se siente como una lista de blogposts en vez de como un libro con una misma narrativa y coherencia.

If you know already how to write software that last, then this is a good book to get you a quick reminder from time to time. However, if you want to learn exactly that, then this book will be not much help. It covers many important topics, but so shallow, that you need prior knowledge to follow. Without that knowledge, you will be left puzzled and need other books to cover the gabs.
