Re: Which is the best book to learn python
Alan Gauld has written a very good online book called Learning to Program. I would definitely recommend it. http://www.alan-g.me.uk/l2p/index.htm -Bill On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 11:09, santosh hs wrote: > Hi All, > i am beginner to python please tell me which is the best available > reference for beginner to start from novice > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If you want to get the maximum out of Lutz & Asher's "Learning Python", which is a very good book as well, you should have programmed in some way before.

I learned my first steps with Josh Cogliati's "Non-Programmers Tutorial For Python" http://www.oopweb.com/Python/Documents/easytut/VolumeFrames.html . The suggestions above are very good if you are new to programming en general (not only to python). If you have some experience, you may look to something more advanced, such as "Dive into Python". All these resources are available online for free. If you want to but a book, I like "Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional". Hope this helps...

(I'm biased though since I wrote it;-) I am usually a big fan for O'reilly books and I started learning Python from the first edition of _Learning Python_. It's not a bad book and it will get you started. I cannot speak for the latest edition which seems to contain quite a bit more then the version I read. When Python 3 was released, I decided to try relearn Python 3 from scratch rather then trying to simply figure out the differences between versions. I picked up Mr. Summerfield's book because it seemed to be the first book to cover Python 3 excusively and I was rather impressed. I would definitely recommend it to others. [OT] P.S. to Mark Summerfield. You have been hanging around in the Go Nuts mailing list. Is that any indication that you might be considering writing a book on Go? If you do, you will have at least one customer. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
