I needed to get up to speed on Python fairly quickly for a technical interview. Using this book and another one of Johns and a couple nights I had a firm grasp on the language and did great on my exam.

This is a good book for beginners learning programming, or learning python. It is written pretty well, and easy to understand.

This was very useful. I had to focus on absorbing as much as I could from the book, so while I do like the way it is written, I had to apply some effort on my part to actually learn programming.
