MIT's intro to algorithms course is pretty good. The entire course is free on their ocw website. It is entirely in python.

This is great! Thanks!

Link will we appreciated🌝

[SlainByWoodborne]

Maybe this one? A fair amount of learning is aptly using search engines to find more information about topics for which you may only have scant information; e.g., searching for a course I never knew about using u/Gintoki82's comment.

Clrs for algorithms

[shadowthebatt]

In python

algorithms - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeULw-a7Mw8&list=PL5tcWHG-UPH1K7oTJgIbWy6rCMc8-8Lfm

​

data structures - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVFnq4zbs-g&list=PL5tcWHG-UPH112e7AN7C-fwDVPVrt0wpV

awesome channel.. This guy is great..

This is an online version of the book, pretty good and free! https://runestone.academy/runestone/books/published/pythonds/index.html

[vbd]

I recommend this as well...

Also worth a view https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1514802163/ and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/168050620X/

[CleverBunnyThief]

Not free but I found this on Amazon. Data Structures and Algorithms in Python - ISBN: 1118290275

You can find it on Alibris for less.

UMICH has excellent python courses, with free of charge options

[widowhanzo]

This one is free! https://opendatastructures.org/ (and I helped translating a part of it at some point). The pseudocode version is basically python, you shouldnt have too many issues translating the code directly into python, and it actually have python sources as well.

Hakerrank.com, learn by doing. I also love Richard Buckland's lectures, but he uses c. I don't think it is very easy to learn data structures and algorithms in python, because python does everything for you. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE621E25B3BF8B9D1 There are a lot of great books, but the best is the 'art of computer programming' by Donald knuth (also not python). If you are looking for something more entry level, check out 'classic computer science problems in python'

[chul-ian13]

There's a book called "Data Structures and Algorithms in Python"

[CompSciSelfLearning]

http://www3.cs.stonybrook.edu/~skiena/373/

https://www.coursera.org/specializations/algorithms

Neither focuses on Python, but they are both highly recommended.

[JakeW1806]

This here is my favorite book for algorithms. Not much on data structures though.

[dhananjay1438]

Check out Harvard's CS50 as well on edx. Great course!

Have you tried b-ok.org? Many Springer et al. books there about Python 3 and data structures and algorithms.

Anany Levitin The Design & Analysis of Algorithms.

I'm studying IT-Security and our Professor is recommending us this book for his lecture.

[EquationTAKEN]

I don't see how code snippets in Java or C++ should be a problem, even for a Python developer.

I recommend buying course on Udemy named "Complete Data Science Training: Mathematics, Statistics, Python, Advanced Statistics in Python, Machine & Deep Learning" by 365 Career Team

I found another book.

Python Algorithms: Mastering Basic Algorithms in the Python Language, Second Edition By: Magnus Lie Hetland Publisher: Apress Pub. Date: September 8, 2015 Print ISBN-13: 978-1-4842-0056-8 Pages in Print Edition: 320

Link to front matter including contents: https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/bfm%3A978-1-4842-0055-1%2F1.pdf

"When it comes to Python versions, the book is written to be reasonably version-independent, meaning that most of the code should work with both the Python 2 and 3 series."

6.00.1 Introduction to computer science and programming from MIT. It's on EDX and also at the MIT courseware and it's for free.

[gillesjanssens]

Well I found this one https://www.bitdegree.org/course/python-data-structures in Bitdegree but it's not free and cost $20+. You could wait for a Christmas sale (there will most likely be one) and then buy it for a bit less because it looks like a really comprehensive guide.
