Книга, вроде бы, и неплохая. Но название не совсем соответствует содержанию. Я думал, что тут будет что-то на продвинутом уровне. А оказалось, что вся информация, хотя и полезная, но является прописной истиной уже для среднего мидла. Поэтому это будет полезно лишь для джунов и начинающих мидлов.

This book did not waste my time :) The part that i really like is the decorator. The author gives the most crystal clear explanation for all the python books i read so far, really appreciate that. Also the logging. Other books i read on these topics tend to make me lost in details or too brief which i think nobody appreciate, especially for real-world developer using python.
