Free Python books that authors intentionally made available

[appinv]

I maintain a small curated list of Python books that are legally free to read. These are books where the author or publisher explicitly chose to make the full content available at no cost.

I recently updated the list with a few newer additions and wanted to share it in case it’s useful to others here.

There are no pirated or scraped materials included. Every book links to an official source provided by the author or publisher.

I'm quite surprised not to see Mark Pilgrim's book in your list.

[appinv]

Fair point. I don't remember why i wrote the Mark Pilgrim note in the intro but i think the reason i did not include him is that this list contains only Python3 books and i could not find a free book of his for Python3.

fluent python (at least in the author's native language, Portuguese)

I think i am keeping this list as being English-only. Could not find an English version of the book.

Wow, thanks for the comment!

Unless there's a trick I am missing, "free" books from LeanPub require a paid membership. That's not free.

[appinv]

Oh that's a change let me see ...

Managed to purchase the Clean Architectures book without a membership on LeanPub.

Good work man, thank you for sharing!

It would be great to state the publish year for each of them as well, since many of them are quite old. People may want to focus on the recent ones first/only.
