A great beginner's introduction, with lots of examples for specific tasks.
I bought this book for me and a copy for my grandson, who at the time was interested in learning Python as a tool for his financial work. At the time, the books were 29.99 each from the publisher and that included an ebook copy. I just checked and the publisher's price is $39.99.
