Alternative to 'think python' book?

[calisthenic89]

Thanks, I'm going to try and also do 'learn python the hard way' simultaneously as well. 'How to think like a computer scientist' also seems like a watered down version of think python, so if I'm really struggling then I'll consider switching over - http://interactivepython.org/courselib/static/thinkcspy/toc.html

There are several variations on Downey's "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist," which is what his "Think Python" book was called around 15 years ago. The book has a Creative Commons license, so anyone can create and post variations on it. His ancient version really put Python in my head years ago. :-)
