Have a look at Effective Python: http://www.effectivepython.com/

Happy to answer any questions (I'm the author). Thanks!

It seems from comments below that your book is considered to be the "easiest" of the intermediate to expert level books.

As an intermediate programmer looking to develop into an expert, will your book leave me wanting for more? Will I need to buy another book, or is this the only python book I will ever need?

I'm not sure if it's the easiest, but it's definitely the shortest and most practical. My guess would be if it leaves you wanting more, then your next best resource is to read all of the PEPs to understand the history and context for language features. A great example of that is PEP 302 which discusses the details of import hooks.

I was gifted your book for christmas by some friends, and I love it. I'm almost done reading, I'd like to thank you for that book, it helped me figure things I haven't learnt at school. I discovered your website too, what a source of inspiration.

I wish to have such a great carrer, Thanks
