`This is a awesome book to start with python.Although the book is mostly for folks who are starting off with programming but it works great even with those who already have good programming knowledge with other languages.

The book is very interactive and provides interesting code examples and exerciese that we can try out.It also has a supporting website where the author has solutions for codes and some custom libraries that are used in the course of the exercises.

This book is excellent for people who have never programmed before and even for advanced programmers.Mr Downey's explanations are very clear and lucid and the exercises are engaging.
Python is a very good language for beginners as it is both simple,clear and powerful.
Think Python as a textbook is a clear personification of Python itself.

One of the finest Python programming book. The way topics are dealt are absolutely good. Many easy analogies are given to support the idea being discussed. The level starts from basic and goes into object oriented approach using Python. Overall I recommend the book.

Describes language syntax adequately. Is aimed at a beginner, who knows at least one other programming language. Also acts as a basic handbook of simple features of the language. I read it twice in a week and outgrew it in a fortnight. Think of it as a primer before you move on to the official Python documentation.

Mind blowing book

This is a great book for an introduction to Computer Science and Programming. Chapters are short and language is simple. The entire book can be completed in about 15-20 days. What i really like about this book is the importance the author lays upon debugging. At the end of every chapter there's a section for debugging.

Good book on python not very voluminous.

Good...

Nice book

This is a good book for who are new to python. This book covers all the basic concepts.
