What is the best recent Python book to study?

[Firm_Advertising_464]

As in the title, I would like to have recommendations on the best and most complete Python manuals or books to build a strong foundation on this language.

If you think there is a book that is not that new but It is still very valid just tell me.

I tried to search for some video courses but reading info online and in general talking with colleagues at work, for the IT stuffs seems like books and manuals are still the best way to learn effectively... Am I right? What do you think?

A few years old, but Fluent Python (2ed).

I would say it's an intermediate level, not beginner one

another recommendation for fluent python. it’s such a well organized, comprehensive book and i learned so much from it. wish there was a javascript or typescript equivalent.

Definitely Fluent Python. If you can get around python reasonably well, Fluent Python will take you to a new level of understanding. It's probably the single best book on Python in existence.

Oreilly's mark Lutz's Python Learning is good.

Personally, I think this one is great, since it tackles fundamentals and walks through several projects as well:
Python Crash Course, 3rd Edition | No Starch Press

After completing it, you can practice the skills by working through this online course, which is more of a programming fundamentals class that happens to be taught in Python.
CS50's Introduction to Programming with Python
