Review: Python Testing: Beginner's Guide

I've been testing (as well as writing) Python code for the last eight years, so a book with the words Begginer's Guide prominently displayed on the cover isn't something I'd've decided to buy for myself. Nevertheless I jumped at the offer of receiving a free e-copy for reviewing it. Short summary: it's good book. I learned a thing or two from it. I don't know well it would work as an introductionary text for someone new to unit testing (or Python).

Expert Python Programming

It's been a while since the last Expert Python Programming review on Planet Python. Y'all might've forgotten about this book by now. Time for a reminder? (Actually, I'm just lazy busy, and this is why this review hasn't appeared sooner.) I received a free PDF copy of this book from Packt Publishing, with the understanding that I'll post a review on my blog. This is it. Short summary: it is a good book marred by a lot of mostly inconsequential little mistakes.
