Expert Python Programming
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Expert Python Programming deals with best practices in programming Python and
is focused on the more advanced crowd.

.. todo:: Write about `Expert Python Programming <http://www.packtpub.com/expert-python-programming/book>`_
It starts with topics like decorators (with caching, proxy, and context manager
case-studies), method resolution order, using super() and meta-programming, and
general PEP8 best practices.

It has a detailed, multi-chapter case study on writing and releasing a package
and eventually an application, including a chapter on using zc.buildout. Later
chapters detail best practices with writing documentation, test-driven
development, version control, and optimization/profiling.
