This book builds on basic Python tutorials to explain various Python language features that
aren't routinely covered: from reusable console scripts that play double duty as micro-services
by leveraging entry points to using asyncio efficiently to collate data from a large number of
sources. Along the way it covers type-hint based linting low-overhead testing and other
automated quality checking to demonstrate a robust real-world development process. Some
powerful aspects of Python are often documented with contrived examples that explain the
feature as a standalone example only. By following the design and build of a real-world
application example from prototype to production quality you'll see not only how the various
pieces of functionality work but how they integrate as part of the larger system design
process. In addition you'll benefit from the kind of useful asides and library recommendations
that are a staple of conference Q&A sessions at Python conferences as well as discussions of
modern Python best practice and techniques to better produce clear code that is easily
maintainable. Advanced Python Development is intended for developers who can already write
simple programs in Python and want to understand when it's appropriate to use new and advanced
language features and to do so in a confident manner. It is especially of use to developers
looking to progress to a more senior level and to very experienced developers who have thus far
used older versions of Python. What You'll Learn Understand asynchronous programming Examine
developing plugin architectures Work with type annotations Review testing techniques Explore
packaging and dependency management Who This Book Is ForDevelopers at the mid to seniorlevel
who already have Python experience.
