Review: So much clarity and detail - Wow this book is a tome! But it sort of needs to be, because it gives such a comprehensive overview of the python language, and also manages to explain ever some of the more obscure topics using lots of clear examples. I'd recommend reading at least an introductory text on python before approaching this. The author suggests "Learning Python", I think partially because he wrote it. That's not to say it's a bad suggestion, and in fact he's even said he designed the books to play well with each other in a certain order. Another good option is Python Crash Course. If you have some professional background in python, you'll be fine jumping right into this. If you're a brand newbie, you'll probably want a primer before this though.
Review: A Great Addition to Your Library - A great guide to Python programming. Yes, it can get tedious and a bit dry (but I like tedious and dry!). This reads like a college lecture, but it is thorough. If you're looking for a paper copy for your library, get this. NOTE: This is a big book. More importantly, this is also available for free in PDF format. Just do a google search.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So much clarity and detail

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Addition to Your Library
*by P***R on September 18, 2022*

A great guide to Python programming. Yes, it can get tedious and a bit dry (but I like tedious and dry!). This reads like a college lecture, but it is thorough. If you're looking for a paper copy for your library, get this. NOTE: This is a big book. More importantly, this is also available for free in PDF format. Just do a google search.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Missing Manual
*by R***N on February 15, 2019*

If you've read beginner-level books and have a decent grasp of the Python basics, this is probably the next book that you're looking for. I spent hours trying to find a decent text to figure out things like tkinter (most of the web resources are outdated), which is really how I came across this title in the first place, but it covers a lot of the other "in-between" subject matter as well. The author does well with comments and explanations. Kindle formatting has been easy to read and follow.
