Depends. Are you new to programming or just new to the Python
language?
If the latter you should just use the official tutor that comes
with Python and save your money for one of the more advanced
books and/or references.
If you are a complete beginner there are lots of online tutors
but only a couple of books.
1) Ivan Van Lanningham's "Teach Yourself Python in 24 Hours"
2) The Deitel's "Python How to Program"
2) My "Learn to Program using Python"
The focus of each is slightly different.
Check out the newbies page on the Python web site for more info.
I'd recommend trying a web tutor first then buying something like
Learning Python or Core Python...

And "Text processing in python", which would be good for experienced
programmers new to python, is available online at
<http://gnosis.cx/TPiP/>, although no doubt the author would be keen
for people to buy copies as well...
diveintopython. org is an awsome book (albeit not completely finished).

hi,
I am new to python (but not to programming - have programmed in many
other languages like C++/lisp/perl etc.) and I would like to buy a good
book. The local bookstore has no books about Python, so I cannot look
into a book and see whether I like it. That is why I turned to this
newsgroup for advise.
I would like a book with a very complete and correct description of the
language and the built-in features, and things like how to...

At the beginning of 2003, I was a frustrated computer user, and lapsed

Hello list,
I wonder if I could get some feedback from the list on a Python book I'm
about to order from the net. The book is called "Python How to Program" by
Deithel & Deithel. Issued on Prentice Hall 2002. I'm not an experienced
Python programmer and I'm looking for a comprehensive but also an
"understandable" book. I'm also open for suggestions.
Best regards

I've tried using several online tutorials, and most of them are great, but I'd like to have a good Python book on hand. Any suggestions? One of my weak spots mentally, is that it has been hard to jump into programming quickly. I've studied HTML/XHTML and CSS, and I picked up on it pretty fast. My next goal is to learn a programming language, which will hopefully lead me to even more languages. I'm starting with Python, and actually already...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
