It's a great book. I can only compare this book to "Effective Python: 90 Specific Ways to Write Better Python". I thought I know Python well. Well, after reading this book, I realized that I was mistaken. This book covers the hidden gems of Python standard library. In many cases, I was using third party libraries instead of using just regular standard libraries.
This book also follows and teaches the proper Pythonic way of writing code.
This book covers Python 3.6, and I wish Alessandro Molina updated this book with new Python libraries.
