Who this book is for

The Python programming book is intended for expert programmers who want to learn about Python's advanced-level concepts and latest features.

This book is written for Python developers who wish to go further in mastering Python. And by developers, I mean mostly professional programmers who write Python software for a living. This is because it focuses mostly on tools and practices that are crucial for creating performant, reliable, and maintainable software in Python.

However, this does not mean that hobbyists won't find anything interesting. This book is great for anyone who is interested in learning advanced-level concepts with Python. Anyone who has basic Python skills should be able to follow the content of the book, although it might require some additional effort from less experienced programmers. It should also be a good introduction to the newest releases of Python for those who are still a bit behind and continue to use older versions of Python.
