Yes this is a real need and very badly satisfied at the moment - Language texts are language centered — mostly what you'll get out here - Data Structure texts tend to emphasize storage structures — eg ‘linked-lists’ — rather than data structures eg sets, bags, lists and their complementary semantics - And the academic texts are too academic/theoretical Something I had written [Sorry! very much in the 3rd category!!] nearly two decades ago: http://cs.unipune.ac.in/admin/obx/hod/course.pdf particularly the Intro to programming, discrete structures and data structures syllabi -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
