Re: Python book

Asking about 'Python' book recommendation is something that always leads to a near religious recommendation set. I have my favourites too, but would recommend original poster to check the no. of reviews on Amazon, B&N etc., after collecting recommendations from this list, before finalizing on one.

Re: Python book

My favorite book is "Python Essential Reference" from David M. Beazley. It is not a beginner book. It is about the python language and not about a framework or third-party library. It is much more complete than for instance "Dive into python", but maybe somewhat more difficult. - Patrick lal

I should add that "Dive Into Python" is also available for free online: http://www.diveintopython.org/ It's a great book. It is not a linear book -- it doesn't start you off talking about variable types and structure. It starts you right off with a piece of working code. If you already have some
