[Tutor] What books do you recommend?

[Albert Sweigart]

I'd recommend Doug Hellman's Python Module of the Week blog (PyMOTW)
at http://www.doughellmann.com/projects/PyMOTW/

He goes into each of the standard library modules and gives examples
of them in use.

Dive Into Python 3 by Mark Pilgrim is also good for getting up to
speed on Python 3. http://diveintopython3.org/

And I recommend my book, "Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python"
which is freely available at http://inventwithpython.com
It doesn't go into the standard library modules, but it does have
several complete programs that are easy to read and understand. The
book is aimed at complete beginners and young adults (but is not
"kidsy").
