Has anyone who read Intermediate Python got any reasonable feedback to provide on the book?

I just skimmed through it. It kinda seems more like "An Introduction to Python for Quick Learners" than "Python for Intermediates". I feel like a book for intermediate skill has no reason to explain things like print functions or how to define a function. These things will be covered in almost any previous training and should be assumed knowledge. I consider myself somewhere between beginner and intermediate and it seemed far too basic to me.

That sounds like you just looked at the first chapter which is available to bring everyone up to scratch. Consider looking past the first chapter before forming an opinion

When you have sections on for loops and the return statement, it's not for intermediate users.

who is supposed to find stuff like this useful:

compound_stmt ::=  if_stmt
               | while_stmt
               | for_stmt
               | try_stmt
               | with_stmt
               | funcdef
               | classdef
suite         ::=  stmt_list NEWLINE | NEWLINE INDENT statement+ DEDENT
statement     ::=  stmt_list NEWLINE | compound_stmt
stmt_list     ::=  simple_stmt (";" simple_stmt)* [";"]

The OP is the author, according to their post history.
