> but might not help you with the task of writing better professional Python programs

Let me disagree here: right now I’m doing mentoring with some python programmers where I work, they watch the videos, read the relevant part of the book, and we have a discussion together after each part. I hear constantly “oh yeah, I can apply that here or there”, “this streams concept is so good”, etc etc etc. I think it is most valuable if your background is “only” Algol family languages.
