I've found this book too obtuse to learn Python from or to use as a reference. I am now looking for an alternative title.

The author has a habit of introducing new terminology in examples and only defining those terms in later pages.

There is much repetition which doesn't aid clarity but has lead to a 1000+ page book. Despite of the size I found basic classes we not covered (e.g., TimeDate).

One reason the text is verbose is the need to qualify inaccurate statements: e.g., p90 "All three are assigned on object creation and are read-only" ... "with one exception" ... " It's unclear if the exception refers to object creation, being read-only or both. And if only 2 of 3 why start by stating "All" ?

The 2nd edition appears to have been rushed out with minor grammatical errors and some mistakes (e.g., p81 "in line 6" should be "in line 7").

There are phrases, which to my eye, don't add any value to understanding. e.g., p168 "Strings are among the most popular types".

This title does have some 5 star ratings so it does have an audience.
