You know the basics of Python. This book shows you how to write programs that are organized, tested and easy to change.
Volume 2 of the Python Programming series moves in five stages. You start with deeper functions, closures, comprehensions and iteration tools. Next come modules, the standard library, pip, virtual environments and clean code with PEP 8, docstrings and type hints. Then you read and write files, CSV and JSON, handle exceptions properly, debug with confidence and write automated tests with unittest. The last stage covers object-oriented programming, dataclasses, enums, argparse and logging.
One project runs through the whole book: a Library Manager. Each chapter adds a new version that uses what you just learned, so by Chapter 18 you have built a complete command-line application step by step. Three extra mini projects give you more practice.
Every chapter has learning objectives, examples you can type and run, a Common Mistakes box, practice exercises, a challenge and a Quick Check with answers. Every program was run on Python 3.12, and the output shown is the output it really produced.
What you will learn:
- Default, keyword, *args and **kwargs parameters, scope, closures, lambda functions and recursion
- Comprehensions, enumerate, zip, sorted, map, filter, any and all
- Modules, packages, the standard library, pip and virtual environments
- Clean code: PEP 8, docstrings and type hints
- Text files, pathlib, CSV and JSON
- Exceptions in depth, custom exceptions, debugging with pdb and testing with unittest
- Classes, properties, special methods, inheritance and polymorphism
- Dataclasses, enums, argparse and logging
At the back: a quick reference, a guide to common errors, a glossary, a 27-question self-assessment quiz, hints for every exercise and an index.
For readers who have finished Volume 1 or already know Python's basics: variables, loops, conditionals, lists, dictionaries and simple functions.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
