Sorprendentemente bueno, necesitaba un repaso de las bases del lenguaje y este libro es directo para recordar conceptos básicos del lenguaje. Como libro introductorio a Python es genial; sin embargo, me hubiera gustado que se hubiera profundizado más en la naturaleza del lenguaje a bajo nivel a través del intérprete mismo de Python (soy ingeniero, así que me chifla saber que pasa por debajo :) ). Aún así, un libro que cubre todo lo básico para empezar, y da una buena base para trabajar bajo el paradigma OOP, llevaba sin trabajarlo desde que aprendí C++, y este libro te da lo necesario para afrontar este tipo de problemas con confianza.
