What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

Right away, this book gets at the 'Pythonic way' to write code and more importantly read & think about code.Very nice book for both beginners and experts. Python is very good for learning, approaching, and mastering many programming paradigms: like ML for example.Great book about becoming a better programmer.

This book is an industry-level book that will help you to develop the coding skills in Python that can be used for tackling complex real-world problems that will help you to perform Automation in difficult use cases.In this book, you’ll build on that foundational knowledge to learn how to leverage tools, libraries, and best practices to write exceptionally robust, efficient, maintainable, and well-performing code.This book explains the tricks and traps that turn a few lines of Python code into much more than expected, which often leads to bugs and crashes if not written or understood correctly.It also covers techniques for catching performance issues before they occur and debugging code efficiently when problems arise.The content of this book is culled from code examples provided by experienced Python programmers who have encountered the same problems that you will encounter and deal with them effectively.

Python for GeeksBuild production-ready applications using advanced Python concepts and industry best practicesBy, Muhammad AsifDisclaimer: This review has been requested by the publisher, and I am giving my honest review of this book. This review is based on reading the book. As with any Packt publication, it's also necessary to try out the code, which I will at a later point in time.OverviewThis book is aimed at the intermediate Python practitioner who wants to take their coding skill to the next level. The book starts by outlining what it takes to be ‘Pythonic’. One of the great things about Python is that there is a welcome consistency for how things work (unlike R, where any given package can have its own idiosyncratic personality). After the basics of writing code in a Pythonic manner, the book covers reusability of code- functions, modules, the core things to know for modularizing complex code and reusing code.The chapter on Advanced Object-Oriented programming helped fill a gap of knowledge and I hope to benefit from these new learnings. The rest of the book goes into advanced programming: advanced libraries, testing, automation, advanced tips and tricks, multi-threading (etc.), scaling Python across Clusters (PySpark etc.), Python in Google Cloud, Web Development (Flask), APIs, Microservices (Django), Serverless Functions, machine learning, network automation. Given the extensive functionalities covered, it will be a long time before I outgrow Python for Geeks.I'd give this book 4.6 stars, but gave it a 5 because of rounding.What I like about this bookThis is a great reference book to give a foundational understanding when encountering new levels of advanced Python programming. I also like that there are many code examples to illustrate the concept being discussed. The book says to type in the code oneself, which is an important way to cement the learning. And the outputs aren’t in the book, you have to go type in the text to see the output.The code examples build on the things created in previous chapters, which greatly aids in understanding the incremental functionality and power covered in each chapter.The chapter with Advanced Tips and Tricks has powerful ways to code: itertools, lambda functions etc. These are elegant ways to accomplish some complex tasks. I will use more of these for sure.What I don’t like about this bookI have seen other books or tutorials that explain things in a more intuitive way. For example, if I compare how functions and modules are explained in this book, it’s more formal than another book I recently read. The difference is this book efficiently explains what is what. The other book asks and answers the questions that someone learning about modules might have. Different readers will respond better to different styles- one can’t please everyone with one book or one style.After writing this review, I read the other reviews. Some reviewers wanted more tutorial, some wanted less. I’m in the camp that would have liked more tutorial. But that would have required covering less ground. It’s a tough balance to strike.OverallPython for Geeks explains the advanced functionalities that enable an intermediate python programmer to step up to being an advance programmer. It’s valuable to have all these areas from functions to multi-threading in one place with consistent examples. I will use this reference to improve my advanced python programming skills.

Rife with easy to understand examples, this very clear Python reference is a great way to not only learn/improve your python skills, but also learn how to use Python in cutting edge applications such as cloud computing, AI, machine learning, Web 2.0 programming, serverless computing, general testing/automation and network automation.Based on very sounds software engineering methodologies, Asif provides a an accurate, concise and practical guide to using Python to solve modern real world problems and provide state of art digital services. Whether you just starting to learn Python or are a seasoned professional, this book will be one of the key references you keep turning to over and over again.If I had to recommend one book on Python; this would be it!

Amazon Customer Nov 05, 2021

Reading this book is a great pleasure. It's a great choice for people who are already familiar with python and want to improve their engineering skills. For python, it covers the most important engineering topics and good practices you need with all kinds of examples. It teaches in-depth about what python is capable of, which you will never know by simply searching on Google because you will not even think about improving your code in that direction unless you have read this book! It also shows how to develop and deploy applications on servers with python, which can be very helpful if you have such needs. Last but not least, be reading this book, you will learn a great number of good python habits and engineering patterns. This is also what I think helps me most, as I spent most of my time learning math/stats!
