Must Buy Python Books Collection – 2019 Update

Python is an easy-to-learn programming language that has some really useful features for a beginning programmer. The code is quite easy to read when compared to other programming languages, and it has an interactive shell into which you can enter your programs and see them run.

In addition to its simple language structure and an interactive shell with which to experiment, Python has some features that greatly augment the learning process and allow you to put together simple animations for creating your own games.

When looking to buy a book or resource to learn off of, you have to determine what area of concentration and language you want to focus on. We have organized these top picks by level of reading, starting with basics and working through the different models. These are books that should be in the library of any python coder looking to develop or improve their skills.
