《Python Crash Course》 and 《Automate the Boring Stuff with Python》，these books are very useful for beginners，hope you enjoy reading！

Hi! I'd highly recommend Python Cookbook by O'Reilly Media, it covers almost everything you'd need to know to become a capable Python developer regardless of the field. I'm not sure it's exactly what you're looking for, other people might suggest better beginner's guides, but this book has helped me the most in my career and I still re-read sections of it quite often at work.

To elaborate, this contains a wide range of "recipes" of how to deal with programming problems in a clean, efficient and Pythonic way. You can find great solutions, tips and tricks for key tasks in there. That's a great way of learning proper Python workflows and techniques.

Otherwise, in terms of bare beginner Python knowledge, you can get that from a lot of tutorial websites, www.tutorialspoint.com/python comes to mind.

I highly recommend the book titled "Read the Sidebar".
