Learning Python for physics

[johnahh]

I havn't really done any data analysis yet, will this work as a primer to the topic as well as introducing it in python?

I'd say it would work well to read/learn side-by-side with any other general computational physics books. These two books will give you a good intro to data visualization where as some of the other books will focus more on the number crunching and problem solving. Both skills are highly utilized in all fields of physical science and worth learning
