[Tutor] self-learning Python

[Luciano Ramalho]

My recommendation for a book to learn to program, using Python is "How
to think like a Computer Scientist: learning with Python (2nd
edition)" [1]. It's a free online book, but a printed version of the
first edition is also available.

Don't let the "Computer Scientist" in the title scare you: it is a
very accessible text which assumes no background in programming, and
explains all of the basic concepts and jargon very well. Includes a
useful glossary at the end of each chapter. The 2nd edition also has
exercises.

Cheers,

Luciano
