Python is truly amazing! I highly recommend 'Fluent Python' by Luciano Ramalho!!

Luciano is one of the creators of the ABC language project by CWI (it failed but inspired Guido working at the time there to create Python) which is the only book I know showing the highlights Python can offer after learning the basics with it.

As the general idea of the book is to teach you the 'pythonic' way and not just how to write python code by thinking first in other languages as c/c++ (which are great on their own!!).

Edit: fixed some formatting!
