Python books

Hey. I've gotten into more "serious" programming with Python and I was wondering if you could recommend some good books/online tutorials, something a little "advanced". All books I find are rubbish from my point of view.

Thank you in advance.

Not sure how advanced you mean, but I found the official Python documentation useful when I was learning it.

This was the book I started with, it gives a great intro into Python. Plenty of downloads for the PDF version, but buying works as well.

You'll have to learn another language if you want something more advanced.

I will do that, but first i want to master python. What language do you recommend?

You should continue forth and get a good grip on Python to learn fundamental programming techniques from a higher level, then you could move on to something more advanced such as C where you must be careful and meticulous about your memory and data types.

Python is capable of very advanced things as well. The "best" language depends on the situation at hand.

On that note, it is always good to have C/C++ is your skillset, however.

learn Lisp.

I just read Byte of Python. Google the PDF, I thought it was pretty good.
