This short cut is taken from Programming in Python 3: A Complete Introduction to the Python Language (Addison-Wesley, 2009) and provides self-containedcoverage of Python’s advanced features. Most of the techniques covered arenot needed every day, but in the right circumstances they can make a crucialdifference, allowing us to write clean and straightforward code rather thanhaving to resort to hacks and workarounds to achieve what we need. The shortcut explains a range of procedural, object-oriented, and functional-style techniques,and the information provided will be a considerable addition to mostPython programmers’ toolboxes.
