Aspiring systems administrator wants a python book.

I know programming basics like if else for loops and how they work. What I lack is ability to practice. Sort of exercises that I can follow that can take me in guided step by step way forward.

I found the python workbook which is exactly what I wanted. But it's tad bit expensive in India(3.5K INR). Is there anything that is under 2K INR? I want to support creators by buying their book rather than reading pdf.

have you ever written a shell script? rewrite them into Python, just for some extra practice. then try some arithmetic problems. finally, write the Python code to turn iron into gold.
