About the Book

Write Python code like the masters

These constructs, while not necessary per se, allow you to be more succinct, re-use code, and think about code in a different way. You will learn:

• how the constructs work

• when to use them

This book covers many of these intermediate constructs that are available in Python. The book covers both Python 2 and 3. Topics include:

• Functional programming 

• List comprehensions

• Generator expressions

• Set & dict comprehensions 

• Iteration 

• Generators 

• Closures 

• Decorators
