A new Python book out, edited by the legendary Alex Martelli and David Ascher.
Judging by the sample chapter on O'Reilly it's a real honey...

Written loosely in a 'patterns' approach -> problem/solution, it appears to
address experienced real-world ~ real-python needs. Valuable tips for applying
2.2 features/advantages. Readable and eminently lucid, as you would expect. It's
beautifully oriented towards answering "How do I do xyz? in Python?", thus
filling a valuable hole in the bookshelf.

Random Examples:

1.7 Collecting a Bunch of Named Items

Problem
You want to collect a bunch of items together,naming each item of the bunch,and
you find dictionary syntax a bit heavyweight for the purpose.


1.8 Finding the Intersection
of Two Dictionaries

dictionaries.
