O’Reilly Media book: Python Pocket Reference
Updated to cover Python 2.7 and 3.4, this compact reference is the perfect on-the-job tool for developing applications with this versatile programming language. By covering the core language as well as commonly-used libraries, this small but potent book both serves as an ideal complement to Python tutorials. This fifth edition includes specific built-in types and Statements, and standard Modules.

O’Reilly Media book: Head First Python
- LOOKS LIKE THEY STOPPED THIS PROJECT – what a pity!
- http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920028543.do
Add Python to your programming skills and have some fun at the same time. Head First Python takes you beyond typical how-to manuals with an engaging visual format that includes images, puzzles, stories, and quizzes that are proven to stimulate learning and retention. You’ll not only learn how Python differs from other programming languages and how it’s similar, you’ll learn how to be a great programmer.
I think, I would like my <20yrs old son to learn programming with this book,
- ie. his 1st language should be Python or Ruby,
- and “Head First …” is a wonderful learning source.
