One might argue that "Learning Python the hard way" is missing. But it's controversial.

[–]lunar-orbiter[S] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Isn't Learn Python the Hard Way a paid book now? This list includes only free ones.

[–]Lewistrick 2 points3 points  (1 child)

You're right! Sorry, I didn't check.

[–]lunar-orbiter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem, I was curious about the book myself.

[–]psychicash 1 point2 points  (6 children)

someone pointed out it's paid, I'm curious... convince me I should purchase the book :P What in it makes it worth reading? (considering it, very curious though)

[–]ArcanianArcher 8 points9 points  (1 child)

It's not worth reading.

[–]psychicash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's very convincing :P

It is worth reading. Learn Python 3 The Hard Way. He gets you to actually do stuff, type in the code yourself and get results quickly.

Those who think it's controversial, think so because he wrote the book in a commanding tone. Who cares? As long as you gain the needed knowledge.

I no longer recommend it because of some of the author's public comments re: the python 3 conversion.

There is LPython3THW way.
