To be honest I truly dislike the Dawson book. I wouldn't recommend it to
anyone. It's lacks technical clarity, examples and has a messy index. I'm
going to sell my example asap.

I currently use multiple books for reference and because I haven't found one
really good book yet. In the end I'd say python.org is the best resource for
learning Python :)
