Effective Python reading circle

In the spring of 2020 we are organizing a series of online reading circles. The language spoken is English, and anyone is welcome to take part either as a listener or in the discussion, regardless of how much experience one has in Python programming.

Content

This series of study circles goes over Brett Slatkins book Effective Python, that discusses some specifics of Python programming in regards to style, conventions and gotchas. The difficulty level of the book increases chapter by chapter, so the most interesting circles for beginners are probably the first and second one. After that, we noticed it gets pretty hard.
