Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. But that ease-of-use means many practicing Python programmers use only a fraction of its powerful features.
Author Luciano Ramalho shows you how to get more from Python by outlining its core features — and demonstrating how that helps write clear, concise and effective code. This book provides a hands-on guide for writing modern Python 3 code. It encourages you to forget about bending Python to fit patterns you learned in other languages. Instead, it explores how to leverage Python 3’s best ideas.

In Chapter One of Fluent Python — second edition, Luciano Ramalho explores the Python Data Model, explaining why understanding it is the key to unlocking Python’s full potential as a programming language.
This is not the usual dry coding book, but full of useful, tested examples, and just enough humor. My colleagues and I have used this amazing well-written book to take our Python coding to the next level.
