As I recall, "The Python Cookbook" had quite a few of those things,
depending on how nerdy you are.  Each recipe had a pretty detailed
explanation, but it didn't progress in difficulty, it just threw
everything out there.

The original "Programming Pearls" book had material like that, I haven't
read the 2nd edition, but I'd guess it's the same.  Each chapter was
self-contained.
