Great place to start!
A great resource to get you started especially when you are not sure where to begin. I highly recommend this but do caution that a couple references to software are a little dated as the software has progresses so you may have to look around to find what is referenced in the associated python development and interpreter programs.

Learning Python
Just received the “Python for Beginners” book and cursory glance appears to be just what I wanted. I am hoping it helps me understand Python code. More to come

Needs some serious editing
As an experienced professional learning a new language, I tunneled through this book in just a few sessions. With a background as an educator, I can see potential, and serious limitations, in this text.This text is easy to follow and as an introductory text I would rate it as "adequate". However I certainly am looking for a more complete text that has been through a professional editorial process.There are some outright errors and laughable statements in this text:“Regardless of the type of code you use, keep in mind that the primary goal of using functions as a programmer is to solve problems with LESS REUSABLE code”.“When you divide a number by zero, the value is USUALLY undefined because it is referred to as an INFINITE value”…Many of the sentences are simple and declarative, and show very little personality, leading me to suspect AI was used to fill out sections of the presentation.A sense of what the learning objectives are for each chapter, and a matching of exercises to the objectives, is needed. I would like to see exercises for EVERY chapter, not just some of them.Some exercises require concepts that have not yet been introduced (for example Chapter 6, exercise 4 requires conditionals, that are introduced in Chapter 7).Some important topics should be covered but are omitted. For example: recursion, and how to THROW an exception, not just catch it.
