Answer 1

I skimmed through this book for a bit. I'm afraid that the book is very weak: the author clearly writes from the standpoint of a Java programmer, and a lot of his examples are frankly not Pythonic and often he does not understand what he is talking about (for example, list / dict comprehensions or decorators are described more than strangely).
In addition, the book is never finished and has since been abandoned (judging by the commits on BitBucket) 2 years ago.
For Python, I recommend Mark Summerfield's books more, www.qtrac.eu/marksummerfield.html His
latest book, Python in Practice (ISBN 978-0321905635), is devoted in many respects to templates - I recommended it to my colleagues who needed from C++ or C# switch to Python.
