Are you learning python to make a career (LAMP development) or just starting your programming journey?

Either way, i will recommend two very good options, one in the form of a book and other, as an open MOOC course.

For the book, get this eyes closed - Amazon.in - Buy Head First Python Book Online at Low Price in India | Head First Python Reviews & Ratings

Even if you buy the book, enroll this course too:

*www.udacity.com/course/cs101

This is one of the most popular courses in udacity. Best way to learn python and put it to good use.

Happy coding. :)

Nice suggestions! One of my friend uses codeacademy to learn python and he finds it very interesting.

I had started off with python official beginner guide which I had found good at that time. Maybe take a look at it. Later I read the core python programming for in-depth. Anyway, start off with any beginner material. Also make a habit of using python docs as they are pretty well informed and beginner friendly.

:+1: to that. Whatever book you take, chances are it will miss some or the other topic. If you do learn Python from a book, do make a habit of refering to Python docs every now and then as they explain inner workings of Python along with the usual programming concepts.

I learned from here. I think the course repeats itself after a set period of time.
