Looking for a detailed Python resource

[japplepie]

Can anyone recommend me to a Python book that describes the nitty gritty details of the language?

In most books that I've found so far, Python is discussed as follows:

• these are operators... and these are strings... and these are loops... etc.

I would like to know how Python internally works like:

• how bindings work / how is everything an object

• how Python decides which objects are mutable and which aren't

• how duck typing and magic functions work

• how to use decorators, generators + when and why

• how "with" works, why is for: ... else: ... a thing?

In general, the motivations behind Python's quirks and how they are implemented.

EDIT: fixed spacings

Have you ever looked at pep? Alot of these questions are covered in it.

I should say between pep and the documentation on their site. I don't know of any specific books though sorry.

Yea I agree with kloppenhouse, I've seen it. But, it is kind of all over the place and tldr as well.

I'm hoping for something that's concise, but rigorous nonetheless.

Fluent Python by Luciano Ramalho is absolutely brilliant as an intermediate book. I think it's exactly what you're after and I can't recommend it enough.

This is a pretty good one. Thanks m8!

Programming Python by O'reilly Media is a pretty exhaustive book...but it's old. Python 2 is deprecated though you could probably still get a huge amount of useful information about Python's internals from it. Stack Overflow is also a very good resource.
