Who this book is for

If you're new to object-oriented programming techniques, or if you have basic Python skills, and wish to learn in depth how and when to correctly apply object-oriented programming in Python, this is the book for you.

If you are an object-oriented programmer for other languages you will also find this book a useful introduction to Python, as it uses terminology you are already familiar with.

Python 2 programmers seeking a leg up in the new world of Python 3 will also find the book beneficial but you need not necessarily know Python 2.
