Python: Visual QuickStart Guide
Chris Fehily
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. When I work in Python it is always close at hand. It was my original introduction to Python and remains my primary reference.
There is strong synergy between Python itself and the layout and structure of the book - the visual examples are emblematic of the way Python was conceived and operates.
There have been some developments in Python since the first edition and for these I recommend Hetland's book, which complements this one nicely.
