O'Reilly Learning Python is a good start. There are plenty of Python material on the internet too. Search for pdf files. You might get some good e-books.
Agreed. Most of O'Reiily's "learning" series seem pretty good especially if brand new to programming.Originally Posted by kakarukeys
They also seem to be one of the few publishers who give reasonable discounts for ebooks. If you buy direct off their website the ebook is $15 less than the printed version and you can download it as often as you want. As a result I have copies on my laptop, desktop, ebook reader and iphone.
If there's a new way, I'll be the first in line.
But, it better work this time.

I really recommend looking for free online material too
Plenty of articles there : BeginnersGuide - PythonInfo Wiki
Here is a website link that has a lot of free ebooks you might find some things here.
Knowledge: Intermediate C#, Beginner AS3, HTML, CSS, Binary, Hex, Octal.
Science is only an educated theory, which we cannot disprove.

I personally started with 2 free ebooks, the first is Invent your own Computer Games with Python, the second is (and my favorite) A Byte of Python.
The first doesn't cover the concept of oriented object programming and the latter is outdated. I suggest you read them int his order because you'll be able to quickly point out what has changed from python 2.x to 3.1.
From what I remember, the print statement uses parentheses in 3.1 and does not in 2.x and the file opening system is a bit different.
I would have linked but the forum won't let me, so just google them

The class I'm taking at school uses Guide to Programming with Python by Michael Dawson. It seems to be pretty good. I also heard (via Amazon review) that Python Programming for the Absolute Beginning by Michael Dawson is essentially the same book, just not laid out in a manner optimal for teaching in a classroom environment, AND it's much cheaper.
It seems to have good reviews on Amazon as well.
