My all-time favourite is Programming in Python 3 (Mark Summerfield) http://www.qtrac.eu/py3book.html
Most of it is not for absolute beginners. Some of the chapters contain stuff I still cannot wrap my brain around. I believe the chapter about regexes (which is VERY good) is freely downloadable.

I think this book is obligatory if you are going to be working with Python a lot. I own all four editions :) But you wanted something more in depth with algorithms, etc. The O'Reilly book "Programming Python" by Mark Lutz is a classic and is probably a good bet for you. Core Python by Wesley Chun is also good, and I've seen him on this list from time to time. Also, check out the Python wiki: http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonBooks Cheers _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
