Python is one of the most popular programming language, it is being used in most of the companies. It’s highly adaptable, easy to maintain, and allows for rapid development.

Here are the top 5 python books Top Talked Books recommended:

  1. Python Cookbook

It’s a pretty good source for Pythonic. It has many example of practical solutions to real-world problems.

Warning: This book is more for advanced programmers.

2. Python Essential Reference (4th Edition)

I highly recommend “Python Essential Reference” by David Beazley. You might find this sufficient if you’re an experienced programmer and want a concise and comprehensive overview of the language. If you’re a novice programmer this probably won’t provide enough hand-holding. While I learned Python from other books, this is — by far — the most useful python book I own.

3. Python Crash Course: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming

This book is easy to understand, it provides numerous exercises in each chapter that allow you to work through the information that you’ve learned from the chapter.

This book teaches you Python in a logical, systematic and easy to understand format with real world type of examples.

4. Learning Python: Powerful Object-Oriented Programming

If you want to write high-quality, efficient code that’s easily integrated with other languages and tools, this hands-on book will help you be productive with Python quickly.

This book has an easy to follow tutorials.

5. Introduction to Machine Learning with Python: A Guide for Data Scientists

If you want to get into Machine Learning, this book is easy to understand, it has a lot of examples. It is a very helpful reference.

Highly recommend for someone looking to get started in ML with Python.
