Ways to advance Python skill?

Tar.Aldarion

I mostly program in python for the last couple of years but I feel I'm not improving my skills in it any more with what I have to implement. Any ideas of what I could do to not become complacent? A project or some such, a more advanced book?

You could contribute to a few git repositories, for example https://github.com/python/cpython

I found dataquest.io to be very educational (sorry link is not clickable because i'm a new user...)

Something along the lines of Big Data or Social Media analysis?

A project in some area that you've an interest in, I suppose.

We can throw out a list of topics and see if any catch your imagination, or glance through the table of contents of books.

"OpenCV Computer Vision with Python". Using the CV2 library and learning about Haar cascades for face tracking ( and depth perception if you were foolish enough to get a Kinect dev-kit ).

"Violent Python" Using python to solve varied real world IT problems using modules of python that you may not have yet visited ( like wirelessly intercepting and bringing a Parrot drone to land).

"Test-driven development in Python" for the more boring professional structure to your code so the Javaists don't look so sniffily at it. (Web / Django focused)
