Python Tricks: A Buffet of Awesome Python Features

Dan is a very experienced pythonista that knows how to transfer the knowledge acquired in a very easy to follow, learn-by-doing manner that I personally really enjoy. I admit I was a bit reluctant on buying this book first, but 5 minutes of reading proved me wrong, if you like Python and thing you know-it-all, get ready for some (delightful) surprises!

Great book to learn Python Tricks and Tips.The author is a Passionate Pythonista and frequent poster of Videos on Youtube related to Python. I am beginner to learning Python but found this Book very appealing and useful as i navigate my way through the intricate details of the Python Language.

This book is a little treasure for every Python enthusiast. It will teach you lots of incredible tricks you can actually use to boost your productivity. Knowing these tricks help me understood some advanced features of the language. Furthermore it is very well explained. Dan did an amazing job with this book. I highly recommend it.

Even after programming Python for a couple of years, this book was packed with neat little tips and alternative ways of doing things that were just a little cleaner, a little more performant, or a little easier to read. I learned a lot, the writing style is super approachable and overall very upbeat and encouraging. Definitely recommend.

I found this book extremely helpful. Dan does a great job explaining new vs old python versions and even talks about performance. If you are just starting or are a seasoned python developer, this book is a must. These tricks are little golden nuggets. I refer to this book especially when the internet has so many conflicting opinions.

I read book like really awesome detective.
The writing style was some amazing that I read the book in one breath.
The examples were very good, it helps me to understand topic well.
Finally I completely clear up how decorators and iterators works in python. :D
Big thanks to Dan.

The book is fantastic. I really liked the author's writing style--it's very difficult to put the book aside. The examples are clear and detailed, perfectly matching both advanced and 'still learning' Python users.

I bought the digital copy of this book from dbader.org i.e. Dan Bader's website some months back. This is a great book, this book has something for everyone and probably offers many thing for newbies. Well written and simple to understand as well. Python enthusiast must give a try. Thanks

Great book! Its meant for people who want to augment their Python skills, not for absolute beginners. There's a lot of great tidbits in here to write better, cleaner code. The Youtube videos on Dan's channel are also a great compliment. I also love the word "Pythonista"

I bought the early release and have watched this become a masterpiece of work as it has matured. Honestly, I learn something new every time I dip into a quick read of this book. Furthermore, the paperback is a steal at only $20!

I feel excited with the code snippets, which give me more insights of how things could be done better, simpler, and clearer. Although I didn't understand a lot yet ... comprehending comprehensions gave me some enlightenment, already worthwhile the dollars.

This short book really up'ed my python game. Concise, but sweet code snippets that really come in useful. Dan does a great job of getting across the important points, without a ton of fluff. Some of my favorite topics are: "with" statement, underscores and dunders, Four ways to format strings, functions as objects, Lambda functions, Argument unpacking, Named tuples, Dictionaries, Maps, Iterators and generators.
I also really enjoy Dan's conversation style - he does a great job of walking one through the more complicated issues. I look forward to anything Dan is writing - its worth a read!
