Best books to learn Python, in order
Python is easy to start and easy to plateau on. A good order gets you fluent in syntax and data structures before you touch the parts that trip people up later — how modules, environments, and objects actually fit together. Rush past the fundamentals and you end up copying code you can't debug. Survey, then core, then the idioms that make you Pythonic.
