I have a relative amount of knowledge of python, but I wouldn't say it is enough. What I really need is a good python book, partly for learning and partly for reference.
So far, I have used codecademy's python track and a little bit of 'learn python the hard way.'
Can anyone recommend a good resource for python?
I'm no Python expert, but Python itself comes with a tutorial that you can consult, which might be good in the sense that it covers everything, but not so good that the programmers might incorrectly assume too much about your programming knowledge - they know what they're talking about, so they don't have to explain themselves.
Dive Into Python.
For reference,
docs.python.org is all you need, particularly the module index and library reference. Python also ships with a
pydoc tool, which is capable of presenting the inline documentation for all installed packages in text or HTML (try 'pydoc -b').
Thank you very much Tari and Compynerd. My next question is 2.7 or 3.0? So far i have been coding in 2.7, however, I have heard that 3.0 has got to a stage of developmental stability.
3.0 has some cool stuff, but most Python users are still on 2.7.
I wouldn't use the 2.x branch for any new development. Everything I write these days targets 3.x (though it'll usually run okay on 2.x).
