Reviews
"Serious Python contains a considerable amount of judicious battle-tested advice from an experienced developer-as well as some insightful gems from the guest contributors-making the overall effort a welcome addition to the limited number of books aimed at more advanced Python programmers."
-Michael J. Ross, web developer and former Slashdot contributor
