Yes its true that most books and web material concentrate on toy
material. I guess thats inevitable. I remember one of the CS greats
- I think it was Peter Naur - saying that programming pedagogy is too
much focused on language and too little on literature.
Two books that try to buck this trend a bit come to mind [Ive not
checked out either]
1. Expert Python Programming by Tarek Ziade
2. Hacker's guide by Danjou https://julien.danjou.info/books/the-hacker-guide-to-python
