To get the most out of this book

Readers are expected to already have prior knowledge of Python and programming. Developers that come from other languages or that are intermediate with Python will get the most out of this book.

This book takes for granted that readers have a working installation of Python 3.5+, and most of the recipes show examples for Unix-based systems (such as macOS or Linux) but are expected to work on Windows system too. Windows users can rely on the Windows subsystem for Linux to perfectly reproduce the examples.
