Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional by Magnus Lie Hetland

I liked the examples and his presentation, though I wouldn't recommend it as the _only_ book to read for learning beginning python.

Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional by Magnus Lie Hetland

I found it useful, but not great. I found several useful nuggets of information. Overall, it just didn't match my learning style.

Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional… by Magnus Lie Hetland

Excellent book that teaches almost everything there is to get one started in the wonderful world of Python, mostly in a humorous way and sometimes in a serious way. Magnus has to be one of the best computer book writers there is, and an amazing & friendly teacher.

Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional,… by Magnus Lie Hetland

A great introduction to the language. Through yet concise, covered a lot of material, and generally provided a great introduction to the language (if not a simple reference manual)
