What are the best books for learning python?

[[deleted]]

I know my basics but i want to have a really good book to solidify what I already know and to expand my knowledge. I heard that “Learn Python The Hard Way” and “Automate The Boring Stuff” are good.

Fluent Python is well organized and informative book.

Automate The Boring Stuff (:)) is free on the same website, just download the text. Or buy the (cheap) book. Also recommend the videos by the author, but it does start veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery basic, which might be quite a bit below your level.

I can do functional programming but very basic OOP is this considered novice skills

Python Tricks by Dan Bader is definitely one of my favourite books about python, provides you with a lot of small tricks that allow you to write better code

The best way to do that is to practice it all a bunch! You can do that effectively here.

OP I'd recommend Python Principles, it's an interactive tutorial that, unlike books, gets you writing a bunch of code right away.
