Claude Code for Python Developers

Python is the language of web backends, data pipelines, machine learning, and automation. It is also a language where bugs hide until runtime, legacy code is everywhere, and a single missing test can cost a team days. Claude Code changes that equation. It is an AI agent that works inside your terminal: it reads your whole project, edits files, runs your tests, and keeps going until the job is done.

This book shows you how to use it properly, not just casually. You will learn how to set it up for Python, how to talk to it so it gets things right the first time, and how to solve genuinely hard problems with it: migrating Python 2 code, hunting memory leaks, fixing race conditions, hardening security, and shipping production-ready services.
