Me personally, both "Learning Python" and "Core Python Programming". I am by no means an expert, but both of these books are excellent and were quite helpful.<br><br>jay<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Has anyone here attempted to learn Python from books ? I recently<br>
purchased "Learning Python" 3rd Edition (9780596513986) and if anyone<br>
here is a good bottom-up learner than it is the perfect book. The author<br>
goes over each feature in python, explaining it's syntax, usage and the<br>
"pythonic" way of using them in programs. It has really helped me<br>
understand some of the more powerful tools in python and I am sure it<br>
will make an excellent reference book in the future. With that said, has<br>
anyone else attempted to learn python from books and if so which one ?<br>
