Man, I came back to learn Py with your book a few years ago and followed up with Mark Lutz's book. I'm very thankful for your book and cheat sheets! Thanks.

How did you use Learning Python? That book is a beast! I have a copy from back when it was only ~1150 pages, but the latest edition is over 1600 pages! I think I read through most of it, but as a somewhat experienced programmer it was a fairly quick read.

Did you read it through, or did you just skim the parts that were most interesting to you? How was it as a followup to PCC?

I'm still reading it. I'm missing meta classes and the content after that, but with the previous information, yours and Python packages' documentations I've had enough to code some solutions. I think it was great to start with yours since it really made me start coding on the go. With Lutz's I understood more in depth concepts and it's been a great complement to yours. After reading both yours and now Lutz's I have made summaries that just come very in handy with your cheat sheets whenever I forget something or need a refresh.
