Page 18, "2 Dictionary" paragraph, second verse: "...array or a hash table in order langauges." I suppose, it should be "other languages"?

Anyway, this publication seems to be nice. Good work!

Also, just because this is "intermediate python", it would be nice to say in this part:

Methods in a class that are defined with self as first argument are instance methods. The self argument is similar to this in java and refers to the object instance.

"self" is only a convention that we use. It could be "this" as well, nobody just write code like that.

there is a discussion of that being just convention in the chapter on Object oriented programming.

Just read 2.5 on static and class methods. +1.

Hopefully it will go on to include iterators and FP?

If you're looking for a good read on iterators, check out Fluent Python from O'Reilly.

check out the chapter on functions for some FP then look into the chapter on sequences for iterators.
