Python Book

[Axel Rivera]

What is the best Python as a second language book out there?? Any ideas or suggestions?

[Roberto Rosario]

Not a book per-se but a great resource nonetheless: https://python-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

I've used a few books so far:

Thinking like a computer scientist - http://www.openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english2e/
O'reilly - Python in a Nutshell

and some very specific engineering texts:
Matplotlib for Python Developers
Python Scripting for Computational Science

For me, the best book is the one that will get you coding, trying code, you know poking Python with a stick kind of stuff.  As I've said before, I find I learn a language best when I actually use it.  So far, all of the books I've tried have been successful in that regards.  IMHO that is one of Python's inherent advantages.
