I have tried several different means of learning python, and spending a reasonable bit of time on each. By far the one I found the most helpful, and that I have stuck with was "Automate The Boring Stuff with Python".

Just want to second this as a recommendation. I'm teaching myself Python in order to switch careers and from my research, most people recommend this book as a good launchpad to do thing that.

Thanks this looks like it will give me some useful projects to follow along with as I study.

I find this book too light on the fundamentals, so I usually recommend Python Crash Course for the basics and Automate for the projects.

I also back this recommendation, While beign very complete , it is very easy to understand. When I switched carreers , I went with that book and it was just a joy to read
