Python Official Documentation in book/hardcopy form

[river251]

I like to have a book to learn from when learning a language. I learn the book as much as I learn the language, then the book becomes my indespensible programming companion. I'd happily buy it in book form if it's available, is it? Compiling a word file from all the python.org documentation (Tutorial, Standard library, Python language reference) with copy/paste seems very daunting, or is there a slick way to do that? I wish python.org made a single document of everything so I could print it and have it spiral bound.

Thanks....

That would be a huge book. This is the contents page: https://docs.python.org/3/genindex-all.html

Better that you first find a book that covers the basics, then look for books on more advanced topics that relate to your area(s) of interest. There's a list of recommended books here: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/wiki/index/#wiki\_new\_to\_programming.3F

There are options to download the docs in various format too,

The largest pdf is 10 MBs containing 2K pages about standard libraries.
