This is one of my favorite software development books of all time. It's the book that finally offered straight forward guidance and wisdom on how to properly utilize OOP language features.

I'm very happy to see it out for Python!

Concur. I took Sandi's workshop based on the 99 Bottles book, in Ruby with a Ruby crowd, but was immediately able to apply it to Python programming.

Very helpful and clear thinking about refactoring out complexity—and not just refactoring for its own sake, but under the constraint that you want to move your program forward, add new functionality, etc. Refactoring with a direction, purpose, and direct payoff.
