The thing is that "advanced Python" is too large a topic for a single book, or even for a single person to cover completely. It might be a series of books though; off the top of my head I can think of the following topics, each of which will cover many advanced areas:

    - Python concurrency: multiprocessing, multithreading and asynchronous programming
    - data science and numerical computation in Python
    - embedded Python
    - Python GUI development
    - packaging and deployment of Python applications and libraries

Talking about it, can you recommend a resource for that? Related: https://xkcd.com/1987/

This article explains a very important dichotomy that is at the core of much confusion: https://caremad.io/posts/2013/07/setup-vs-requirement/ (by the PyPI maintainer).

Other than that, I don't know of a comprehensive source, in fact have been thinking about writing something myself (if time would allow...). This topic is complex because there is a lot of nuances, and there is no-one-size-fits all solution for numerous Python's use cases.

O'Reilly's High Performance Python touches on the first two items on your list, but it is by no means comprehensive. It's also Python 2 specific, but its principles carry over to Python 3.
