Hello,
I have programmed mostly in C++ lately, and I want to start learning
Python now.
Which books would you recommend to buy?
I am both looking for an introduction into the language, as well as
complete guides.
thanks for your responses,

Well, maybe, none. Have you tried the online material? http://www.python.org/topics/learn
and in particular http://www.python.org/topics/learn/prog.html
I am both looking for an introduction into the language, as well as complete guides.
For the "complete guide", what I've seen of Python in a Nutshell is
pretty good. But I actually don't own any books on Python (well apart
from the one I tech reviewed).
Cheers,
mwh

I haven't read either of these myself, but I've heard good things. The titles
are "thinking in python" and "dive into python". Both are available on the net
in pdf form.

As an intro, I really liked O'Reilley's "Learning Python." As a
reference, I *really* like their "Python In A Nutshell."
I didn't care much at all for their "Programming Python," but lots of
people swear by it, so your milage may vary.
You can learn very well it from the web .. its my opinion, but people say that
Learning python is the best.. and there is too the python bible

To learn how to think in Python I think the Python Cookbook is very
valuable. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
