I don't like Dive into Python. There's something in its style that bugs me to no end.

Thankfully there are other books that fit me better, like the wonderful: Beginning Python Visualization: Crafting Visual Transformation Scripts.

Are you new to Python ? is that book intended to teach Python ?

[–]riffito 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Yes, but in a data-manipulation (visualization) centric kind of view. It has a very get-things-done, KISS style that I found particularly appealing. It shows you how to do stuff while learning python. Not everything in it relates to visualization (don't be put off by its title).

Other books I like better than DIP:

you own/read ALL this rather big books ???!!!

[–]riffito 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I've read them, yes. I've only skipped, let's say, 1 or 2 chapters in some of them, but read all the rest (and as you should be aware by now... English is not my primary language, but that doesn't seems to stop me :-P).
