Getting Along with Python is an introduction to helpful practices and tools for making projects with Python - not the programming itself, but technical stuff around it that helps you do things right with less fighting.

It’s designed for people who are not brand new to Python, but want to learn more about what’s out there to make life easier with Python, and are willing to invest a little time earlier in order to save time and frustration later.
