If you're not averse to books I'm yet again recommending "Robust Python" by Patrick Viafore and for more esoteric things like metaclasses I would recommend "Expert Python Programming, 3rd Edition" by Michal Jaworski & Tarek Ziade. It's not wholly dedicated to metaclasses, so there are tons more to learn from it as well.

My personal favorite is Expert Python Programming by Tarek Ziadé and Michał Jaworski.

Python High Performance by Gabriele Lanaro is also quite good.

"Expert Python Programming" by Tarek Ziade (http://www.packtpub.com/expert-python-programming/book)

This looks less like a reading list and more like a lead-up to the author propping up his own book.

He completely fails to mention any of the more advanced Python books like Expert Python Programming or Pro Python and especially Lutz's Python Programming which seems to have exactly the same type of content as he's book (general knowledge about various python libraries).

I highly recommend going through Zed Shaw's "Learn Python the Hard Way". Other great Python related books to pick up are:

Pro Python by Marty Alchin Expert Python Programming by Tarek Ziadé

If you're looking to get into web development then, I'd suggest picking up:

Practical Django Projects Pro Django and Django 1.1 Testing and Debugging

Hope that helps!

Offtopic: I recommend picking up Expert Python Programming by Tarek Ziadé if you want to get a feel for what is 'Pythonic'.
