I found Python Essentials to be a very solid book depending on your background and intent. This book is best suited if you are an experienced programmer looking to learn Python to add it to your toolkit. To that end the chapters are all matter of fact and straight to the point. Coverage of Python is quite broad despite being just over 250 pages. On the other hand if you're new to programming then this book is unlikely to get you coding in Python successfully. There is very little discussion of "why and when" to use things, just how. The book also lacks any examples of how to tie the pieces all together. All of the Python code is done discretely in snippets illustrating just the necessary information.I gave the book four stars instead of five for a few reasons. Mostly it boils down to the book sending some confusing messages. For instance, the Amazon description "a rapid guide to the fundamental features of Python" is spot on whereas the cover of the book displays "Modernize existing Python code and plan code migrations to Python using this definitive guide". The latter from the cover is definitely not accomplished in my opinion. There is no discussion of code migration or modernization beyond the initial chapters reasons for focusing on Python 3 rather than 2.x. There are a fair number of similar inconsistencies which lead me confused a bit. Ultimately they were mostly just distracting rather than serious flaws.All in all an excellent book for this with solid programming experience looking to learn Python quickly.
