- The “collections” module; how “namedtuple”, “Counter”, and other classes can make your code shorter, more clear, and easier to maintain
- Implementing iterators, generators, and the “itertools” module; make your job, and others, easier by understanding the most important protocol in Python
- Harnessing Python for consuming web services; automate the gathering of information from the Internet and use it in Python
- Storing and retrieving information with relational databases; discover how Python’s DB-API offers a consistent, database-neutral interface to these databases
