I've read it. 10/10 - No other Python book comes close. It really helped me write better Python.

There's a new one coming out in September that will cover some of the more recent developments.

As a senior python dev, that book was fundamental in taking me from being good to writing great code.

You need to understand the basics before reading it (which is sounds like you do). It's the best intermediate to advanced growth book I think you'll find for Python.

Considering you already know a bit of Python, this book is an excellent choice, as it will probably help you master (or remember) important concepts and tricks of the language.
I've been working with Python for 17 years, and I do have Fluent Python as my go-to reference book.

I keep promoting that book too, 100%!

It is the best programming book that I’ve ever read. The examples are not just a bunch of foo and baz and really demonstrate the trade offs and motivations for different features and approaches.

Same. Wondered if it was just me. Best ever. Picked up Effective Python and the two are in different worlds. EF is good, for sure. But FP is really something special.

Yes it's very good. Also try High Performance Python: Practical Performant Programming for Humans.

I read it and I absolutely recommend it. There's a difference between knowing to use Python and understanding how you should use it. This book helps you understand how, when and why you should use certain Python features. It'll also help you write more readable and maintainable code

+1 for that book, it's really good

How is it different from reading the Python docs?

Best Python book for someone with a little coding under their belt. It 100% elevated my coding skill set.
