I work professionally in C/C++ and the instances I needed to use Python I always felt like I was missing the core understanding of the language and was writing C in a different syntax.

I found James Powell's PyData 2017 talk "So you want to be a Python expert?" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKPlPJyQrt4) to be incredible at helping me to gain that core understanding of the language. It's legitimately the best technical talk I think I've seen and I can't recommend it highly enough.



I'd recommend any Python talk by Raymond Hettinger (Python core developer). The content is top notch, and he is also very good at delivering it.
