About This Book

Deep Dive Python explains Python concepts using open‑source examples. Readers see real‑world usage of core features and patterns, and more than 80% of the book’s code snippets are drawn directly from open‑source projects. Learn not just how Python works, but how it is applied in production‑grade software.

What You Will Learn

  • Use Python’s core data structures idiomatically and efficiently.
  • Apply decorators, descriptors, metaclasses, and ABCs to real design problems.
  • Adopt functional patterns with functools for clarity and reuse.
  • Master iteration: generators, custom iterators, and the itertools toolbox.
  • Choose the right concurrency model for latency vs. throughput trade‑offs.
  • Package, test, and document libraries the way successful OSS projects do.
