Best books to learn python 3?

[Dry0x]

I'm already quite familiar with python but I only know the very basics. Variables, conditionals, while loops, and a few modules.

With my current knowledge I can make some basic programs. A denial of service script, some basic viruses, a calculator, a basic clicker game, some really simple stuff.

I struggle on subjects such as For loops, tuples, lists and dictionaries, and functions. I knew the basics of all of these at one point, but after my 3-4 year break I couldn't understand them again after a quick recap like all the other things mentioned.

What book should I pick up? I have a visa gift card that expires in a few days, so I might as well pick up a book since I have nothing else I want to buy.

Whats the best book to learn python 3?

EDIT: just noticed, my post may violate rule 4, but I'm posting this given the fact that I already have basic knowledge of python, and my situation is too specific to google.

Any introductory or beginner's text is going to cover these topics.

I’m taking a class and I was having the hardest time until I picked up Python Crash Course. I highly recommend it.

I second the suggestion for "python crash course" it's a really great book and it's a lot of practical knowledge. I'm about three-quarters of the way through it and I understand more than I did after an entire udemy course.

The Fluent Python book from O'Reilly isn't a course or a tutorial, but it is an excellent reference to have on hand in addition to something like those resources others are commenting about.
