• Beyond the Basic Stuff with Python: Writing Clean Code

  More than a mere collection of advanced syntax and masterful tips for writing clean code, advance your Python programming skills by using the command line and other professional tools like code formatters, type checkers, linters, and version control.

• Python for Everybody: Exploring Data in Python 3

  This book is designed to introduce students to programming and software development through the lens of exploring data. You can think of the Python programming language as your tool to solve data problems that are beyond the capability of a spreadsheet.

• Automate the Boring Stuff with Python (Albert Sweigart)

  Learn how to use Python to write programs that do in minutes what would take you hours to do by hand - no prior programming experience required. You'll create Python programs that effortlessly perform useful and impressive feats of automation.

• Problem Solving with Algorithms/Data Structures using Python

  This is a textbook about computer science. It is also about Python. However, there is much more. The tools and techniques that you learn here will be applied over and over as you continue your study of computer science.

• Fundamentals of Python Programming (Richard L. Halterman)

  It focuses on introducing programming techniques and developing good habits. To that end, our approach avoids some of the more esoteric features of Python and concentrates on the programming basics that transfer directly to other imperative programming.

• O'Reilly® Think Python, 2nd Edition (Allen B. Downey)

  This hands-on guide takes you through the Python programming language a step at a time, beginning with basic programming concepts before moving on to functions, recursion, data structures, and object-oriented design. 2nd edition updated for Python 3.

• Architecture Patterns with Python (Harry Percival, et al.)

  Enabling Test-Driven Development, Domain-Driven Design, and Event-Driven Microservices, it introduces proven architectural design patterns to help Python developers manage application complexity, and get the most value out of their test suites.

• Functional Programming in Python (David Mertz)

  It describes ways to avoid Python’s imperative-style flow control, the nuances of callable functions, how to work lazily with iterators, and the use of higher-order functions. He also lists several third-party Python libraries useful for functional programming.

• Python 3 Patterns, Recipes and Idioms (Bruce Eckel, et al)

  This book is aimed at more experienced Python programmers who are looking to deepen their understanding of the language and modern programming idioms. It focuses on some of the more advanced techniques used by libraries, frameworks, and applications.

• O'Reilly® Python Data Science Handbook: Essential Tools

  Several resources exist for individual pieces of this data science stack, but only with the Python Data Science Handbook do you get them all - IPython, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn, and other related tools.

• Modeling and Simulation in Python (Allen B. Downey)

  This book is an introduction to physical modeling using a computational approach with Python. You will learn how to use Python to accomplish many common scientific computing tasks: importing, exporting, and visualizing data; numerical analysis; etc.

• Introduction to Scientific Programming with Python

  This book offers an initial introduction to programming for scientific and computational applications using the Python programming language. The presentation style is compact and example-based, assuming little or no prior experience in programming.

• Programming for Computations - Python 3 Edition

  This book outlines the shortest possible path from no previous experience with programming to a set of skills that allows students to write simple programs for solving common mathematical problems with numerical methods in the context.
