Summary

This chapter continued where we left off in Chapter 1, Now For Something Completely Different, helping build a solid Python foundation for later chapters. We covered advanced data types and object-oriented programming, developed our first scripts, and understood Traceback messages. At this point, you should start to become comfortable with Python. We highly recommend you practice and experiment by either testing out ideas in the interactive prompt or modifying the scripts we developed.

As we move away from theory and look into the core part of the book, we will start with simple scripts and work towards increasingly more complicated programs. This should allow a natural development of understanding programming and skills. In the next chapter, you will learn how to parse the setupapi.dev.log file on Windows systems to identify USB installation times.
