What level would you say the idioms in the book are at? I have already been programming in python for a little while, and I wouldn't want to pay for something which I already know. It would be nice if there were more sample idioms on that site so you could have a better idea of what the rest of the book was like.
- e12e 13y agoGiven that the author is willing to give away copies to those that can't afford the book, I'm sure he'll consider a preview/promise refund if you send him an email? (See bottom of page). Note: Also not affiliated in any way.

I'd love to hear some other comments, though.]
- jackmaney 13y agoIt's of more use to a new Python developer than an old hand, but it does touch on some relatively unknown language features (eg for loops having an else clause). Honestly, though, it's only $10, so it's not a massive investment.
