A great guide to Python programming. Yes, it can get tedious and a bit dry (but I like tedious and dry!). This reads like a college lecture, but it is thorough. If you're looking for a paper copy for your library, get this.
NOTE: This is a big book. More importantly, this is also available for free in PDF format. Just do a google search.

The author sucks and the book is too long
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2020
I dont care much for this book. The author repeats himself constantly and meaninglessly. Like in part two (see pic)he starts outlining what the next several chapters are going to be about then proceeds to repeat the same information 2 pages later in chapter 2(see next pic). Ive also found much of the code broken like my first pic of the help sys command. If you type that in python3 it gives an error. Its clear he mostly uses windows(enough said there i think) and he gives half hearted examples of how to implement the code on other systems but your going to be figuring it out on your own bc again broken. The entire intro section for adding a web interface... Broken. Learning through mistakes is a beneficial way to learn if you know where to look to fix it. But he dosnt bother explaining half of what he actually uses in his code and i find myself left hanging with broken code and no clue where to start to fix it. The errors from using the code in the book are often deep errors from the built in modules. Im still gonna finish the book but i hate the person that wrote it.
