[Chicago] How did you learn Python?

[Jon Sudlow]

My favorite book for learning python is the introduction to programming
using python by Zelle. This book is simply fantastic if you want a slow but
detailed approach to the language. I used it in a course that was taught at
college and recommend that book to everybody.
