Overview

Tired of writing Python code that just works? Ready to write code that truly shines? Unlock the full potential of Python and transform your programming skills with Fluent Python: Mastering Idiomatic, Efficient, and Maintainable Code. This comprehensive guide goes beyond the basics, diving deep into the core concepts and modern practices that separate functional Python code from truly Pythonic code. Whether you're an intermediate developer aiming for mastery or an experienced programmer looking to refine your Python style, this book is your essential roadmap. Stop fighting the language and start leveraging its unique strengths to write cleaner, faster, and more robust applications. Inside Fluent Python, you will discover: The Power of Python's Data Model: Learn to implement dunder methods (__len__, __getitem__, etc.) to make your custom objects seamlessly integrate with Python's built-in syntax.1 Functions as First-Class Objects: Master decorators, closures, generators, and higher-order functions to write more expressive and efficient code.2 Modern Object-Oriented Patterns: Go beyond basic inheritance and explore protocols, descriptors, and when to prefer composition. Effective Concurrency: Understand the GIL and choose the right tool (asyncio, threading, multiprocessing) for I/O-bound vs. CPU-bound tasks. Professional Testing with pytest: Build a robust safety net with fixtures, mocking (pytest-mock), and coverage (pytest-cov) to refactor with confidence. Static Typing with mypy: Catch bugs before runtime by adding type hints and leveraging static analysis.3 Automated Tooling: Streamline your workflow with formatters like black and linters like ruff to ensure consistency and quality effortlessly.4 Modern Python Features: Utilize powerful additions from Python 3.10+, including structural pattern matching (match...case) and advanced f-string debugging. Project Structuring Best Practices: Learn standard layouts (src/ vs. flat) and dependency management (venv, poetry, pyproject.toml) for maintainable projects. Packed with practical, real-world examples and clear explanations, Fluent Python moves beyond syntax to instill the philosophy of Pythonic development.5 Learn to write code that is not only correct but also elegant, readable, and easy for you and others to maintain for years to come. Stop writing generic code in Python. Start writing Fluent Python. Elevate your skills and become the Python developer you aspire to be - add this book to your cart today!
