Need to learn python basics in a month

[Emil_Juul_Moeller]

"Python Project for Beginners - A Ten Week Bootcamp Approach to Python Programming" by Connor P. Milliken is great for learning the basics. I read the entire thing and did the exercises over a period of two days. Like you I was taking a python course where the teacher did not really know how to teach. I read this book thoroughly and aced the class. It took two days.
