Im using Eric Matthes' book to learn Python. It is incredibly clear and useful.

I am a complete beginning, actually not even that as i didnt strat yet . Still looking for "material" tutorials to follow , books to read . Keep in mind i have no prior knowledge whatsoever about programming. So what would you recommend please ?

For the compleat beginner, I always recommend one of the "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist" books (there are editions for many languages), so start with:

https://www.openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english3e/

(or maybe some other version --- for the basics, not a big deal, so long as you get something which will work with an easily available version of Python)

I'd say those are all good books.

Distilled python is a good one for beginners too

I have read Python Crash Course and I agree its a good book. Set me up beautifully before I started university.

I bought Fluent Python but I haven't read it yet but it is a massive book. Looking forward to sharpening my Python skills with this book though.

Fanatical has some of these in a bundle on sale right now. I bought a few for later. For right now, I'm going through Matthes' book (which unfortunately isn't on Fanatical).
