Learning python with LPTHW

[Mekire]

my first book was learning python by mark lutz 4th edition.

I have this book too.  It is a great book.  My only complaint is that it doesn't use what we would these days consider proper python naming conventions (pep8).  I don't know if he fixed this in future editions .  The 4th edition actually teaches python 2 and 3 in parallel too which works quite well.
