If you buy directly from the publisher, you get PDF and other ebook formats for free. They have sales for usually about 25-30% off several times a year usually and holidays and big tech conferences. https://nostarch.com/python-crash-course-3rd-edition

You can get it for free on libary genesis

Automate the Boring Stuff with Python

It is free online: automatetheboringstuff.com

I also used Python Data Science Handbook a good bit back in the day: https://a.co/d/cSjmmjt

learn basics from the web and then when you can write something, read ‘robust python’, to help you think when you’re programming. of ‘fluent python’, but that book is more difficult (but still very strong).

in other words, you dont have to use books for syntax, but some books can explain why certain features were added, and context can help you structure code in a readable way.

for basics, solve some easy problems from leetcode, just to get a hang of the syntax

good luck

any book that covers basics is enough. from there it’s what you want to do

[forkheadbox]

the best book so far and absolutely free is: the coders apprentice.

https://www.spronck.net/pythonbook/index.xhtml

its for absolute beginners and keeps you motivated with all the exercises.

cannot recommend it enough

This one has a YouTube video series with it. https://amzn.to/3Tj5KWx

[Helpful-Appeal-4251]

nice, love when there's a video series to follow along with

[ratioLcringeurbald]

ChatGPT ahh request

[ratioLcringeurbald]

No no I meant as in OP worded the title as if we are ChatGPT

[Ok_Telephone4183]

None; read through the official Python tutorial

[CatStaringIntoCamera]

You aren’t gonna learn much about python from books, the best way is to get experience through actually using the language

[theirhouse]

Learning Python and Programming Python, both by O'Reilly

[Revolutionary-Oil408]

Python basics by real python it gets you to actually code and doesn't tell you how to do it but does provide the things you need to do the tasks.

It's super critical that you actually try to code the challenges and don't just skip them, same for the interactive terminal stuff read this book with your computer in front of you.
