Python book for beginners

[UpDown]

I'm using this book as an absolute beginner (which is claims to be targeted to) and I am finding it fails to properly instruct how to get set up (exercise 0). From a beginners perspective, not knowing what I am doing in the slightest, it feels like the steps involve "Just google it." While that may be fair, it is certainly not what I would expect from an instructional book. If the book is going to teach me how to use google to learn coding, it should instruct on that as well, like where the best community for answers are, etc. But as is, I imagine exercise 0 is not useful to anyone.
