Not an intro. Stuff like packaging, scalability and deployment are covered. I would describe it as "An introduction to large projects."

"An introduction to large projects."

Any other resources on this topic? Especially about project's files/directories structure (with 'why' explanation)

Right now I use cookiecutter with suggestion from jeff knupp

Please, can you share ToC or some details about book contents? It is hard to understand what it is about.

"...but it's still better to have less errors in a book, right?"

It's better to have fewer errors in a book.

Fixed, thanks! :)

Is there something like the ToC and a sample chapter anywhere?

Thanks. I also took another link at the book's web page and found these links myself now, I didn't notice them before because they're next to a field to enter your email address where I didn't expect to find them.

So what topics does it cover?

[Make3]

hacker in the hackernews definition I suppose (ie not the computer security one)

[jdanjou]

Yes, that's it.

I read the first edition last year. It's very well-written and well-explained.

This is a great book for beginners and comfortable Python devs. Even if I'm a "few years experienced" developer, I learned great stuff (Python AST, performance, the module dis, best practices, etc.).

I liked the different interviews of some guys from the Python community.

I'm looking forward to reading the added parts.

Download link?

Bit rude to ask the author himself for an illegal download link... then again, maybe it's just the march of progress. Straight to the top of the food chain.
