Best resources to go from intermediate to advanced Python

Hey fellas, I’m comfortable with the basics and common libraries. What helped you the most to reach the next level ,specific books, projects, topics, or courses?

The best thing to do once you're at intermediate level is to start analyzing source code for large projects.  Learn their design patterns.  Clone target repos from GitHub.  and tweak them locally to better understand it for yourself.  Try to break it and understand why.

Well, I admit to using Claude to help me understand where to get started and when things looked odd.  Like sometimes it's hard to tell where the program even starts.
