I just skimmed through decorators. I don't use python too much and decorators always seemed a little bit black magic for me. Thanks for proving this wrong.

#32From related Reddit thread[0]: Note: This is not related with that paid "intermediate Python" book in any way. I became aware of it today. I had been using this name internally for a couple of months. If the author of paid "Intermediate Python" has any issue with this I would be more than happy to change the name of my book because he definitely beated me to the finish line. :) [0] http://redd.it/3hbb46
I think you should change it to reduce confusion. "Intermediate Python Programming" should be good enough.

#33Shit, what I need is "How to publish a package to PyPi in 3 easy steps."
I go around and round with the Python Packaging Authority's documentation.
Re: Intermediate Python
#34I like it. Really good. The only point, I might not consider lists being mutable nor global values vs values returned from a function intermediate topics. Those are beginner topics I think.. one would have a hard time using the language almost at all without understanding them. I would say the part about decorators and kwargs args is more intermediate level. Anyone who gets to that probably already understands global…
Arguable. I doubt most intermediate programmers know much about tuple/string immutability

On the other hand, the name "Intermediate Python" is so generic that whoever wrote the book shouldn't be surprised there are other documents using the same name.

I learned from this:

Not bad.
Re: Intermediate Python
#37It's interesting how a search for "metaclasses" in the given link doesn't yield any results.
That's a pretty advanced topic. Like a lot of advanced (and some intermediate) topics, you read a bunch of varying documentation and play around with it yourself before you get a good grasp.
For me, one of the more useful things were these slides that talk more about the when and why instead of the how: http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/metaclasses.pdf

It has been much more difficult in the past, as recently as 2013, there were a number of different tools competing to be the standard method of packaging python. It's pretty smooth sailing at this point.
I actually gave a lightning talk on this topic a couple months ago. Here are my slides, in case they're useful: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13Cd-LIcw38d-zwZ5pGiW...
Re: Intermediate Python
#40Hi guys! I am the author of this book. Thanks heyalexej for posting this here. If there is anything I can help you guys with then kindly let me know. :)
Just read the entire thing, good stuff! Interesting to see what's considered intermediate vs. basic and advanced.
Feedback: maybe add a feedback section to the site? Haha. Dissect is spelled with 2 S's, and there's a broken link at the end of the virtualenv section.
Thanks for your work! Learned a few things for sure.
