Gys - hats off. Basically what Dennis is saying- you dont need a book "about python ". Tutorials and general search online will get you further and faster than any book.
Blah-blah about myself: my bookshelf has 2 technical books, just because i got them to prepare for certifications. For my trading app, i had to figure out how to work with asyncio module, at the time -2017 , there were no semi- decent explanation for it, let alone books. By 2018 it became "the thing" with a ton of books. Blah-blah= off Good luck. P.s. and if you want to implement your idea really fast and easy - look at the go (golang.org). In my humble opinion- it is super easy and excellent all around. Doing their golangtour is all you need to write a working app. P.p.s. i just started a holy war .. damn.
