It is known for its high readability and hence it is often the first language learned by new programmers. Python being multiparadigm, it can be used to achieve the same thing in different ways and it is compatible across different platforms. Even if you find writing Python code easy, writing code that is efficient, easy to maintain, and reuse is not so straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is an authoritative guide that will help you learn new advanced methods in a clear and contextualised way. It starts off by creating a projectspecific environment using venv, introducing you to different Pythonic syntax and common pitfalls before moving on to cover the functional features in Python. It covers how to create different decorators, generators, and metaclasses. It also introduces you to functools.wraps and coroutines and how they work. Later on you will learn to use asyncio module for asynchronous clients and servers. You will also get familiar with different testing systems such as py.test, doctest, and unittest, and debugging tools such as Python debugger and faulthandler. You will learn to optimize application performance so that it works efficiently across multiple machines and Python versions. Finally, it will teach you how to access C functions with a simple Python call. By the end of the book, you will be able to write more advanced scripts and take on bigger challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle and Approach\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a comprehensive guide that covers advanced features of the Python language, and communicate them with an authoritative understanding of the underlying rationale for how, when, and why to use them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Packt Publishing, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054746157296,"sku":"9781785289729","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781785289729_p0.jpg?v=1763727259","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781785289729","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
