was afraid it'd be too basic, but not really. Enjoyed it a lot.
Consider Fluent Python by Luis Ramalho. If you read through the book, you will not get much out of it. However, if after each chapter, you try to come up with a practical application of the concepts discussed, then you will have a better chance at building a mental model around the topics.
I never understood how all the magic methods in Python worked (and how nice they were) until I read that book. I haven't finished it, but because of it am now able to write and read Python much, much better.
