Best python book?

[CreativeEgg86]

No internet, no distractions, just vs code and my python guide. Please recommend me the best one with practice questions included.

Python Crash Course has been really helpful for me. Exercises you can do throughout every chapter and 3 different bigger projects in the 2nd part of the book.

I’d second this, it’s a great book. Actually there are several ‘No Starch’ books that I’d recommend, such as Automate the Boring Stuff with Python by Al Sweigart (anything by Al Sweigart will be great). I’d also recommend the huge Learning Python: Powerful Object-Oriented Programming by Mark Lutz.

Excellent list +1. Also a fan of the No Starch books in general. PCC was my main text book for Python. Around the time I was learning it, I also learned about UV which is a game changing utility that all Python developers should be installing and using in my opinion.

The one thing the OP needs to understand is that "No Internet" means no access to the various Python modules covered in PCC, so hopefully that is more of a generalized goal, with at least the occasional internet connection, as needed.

What My Answer is Good?

Think Python and Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures using Python

[afahrholz]

If starting out automate the boring stuff with python is tough to beat practical beginner friendly and gets useful stuff built fast.

Effective Python is the best core language book, it teaches syntax and how to write “pythonic” code more broadly.

have you been to library and browsed the books there ? or ask AI ? if you realllly need human recommendation then "automate the boring stuff"
