Even if I could *find* a book that deals with Python > 3.x, couldn't afford to but yet another Python book. Unfortunately, in the computer field, if there's a book written on a topic, it will most likely be out of date. In the 1990's, I used to buy computer books on various topics. I don't think I have bought one for ten years. Either it is online or it doesn't exist. There's enough Python material online to become a pro in it: * tutorials, * the complete language reference, * the complete library reference, * the complete reference implementation, * this discussion group.
