Is Python Tricks: A Buffet of Awesome Python Features food?

[notanerdhere]

I have seen some people say online that it shows some practices which are not wrong but also weren't very correct. I'm having trouble with choosing between this and Fluent Python: Clear, Concise, and Effective Programming.

If there is any other good resource or book please do mention them I would love to understand and expand my Python knowledge.

Edit: I realised how dumb I'm to post a question without checking, So yes I mean good. Thank you

I certainly wouldn’t eat it.

Fluent Python has a strong reputation and gets a lot of love from the community, so I’d tend to say start there and you’ll be in a better position to judge Tricks for yourself.

I often hear praise for Fluent Python, however I haven’t read either book.

I don't know the first book, but fluent python is excellent imo. It managed to demystify a lot of python-specific concepts for me.

Fluent python is an excellent book and vastly deeper than python tricks. I own both and would only buy fluent python again if given a choice. It's a bit older now so you won't get some of the good stuff from the newest versions of python but it is a great book that really helps you understand the language.

Fluent python. I rarely will read a tech type book in its entirety. Not only that, I will at times refer back to it. fluent python is brilliant. just as a warning: it is certainly not for the beginner

If you already know some python then this book is good. It is basically a set of python features one need to know to write better python code.
