Once, you get the basics, I recommend installing two non-standard modules:
- NumPy ( https://www.numpy.org/ ): among other features, it implements a powerful N-dimensional array object
- Pandas ( https://pandas.pydata.org/ ): provides data structures and data analysis functions
They might not be covered by the books, but there are good tutorials on the links above.

Subject: Re: Can anyone recommend a python book ?
I highly recommend the Python Tutorial<https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html>, it’s really, really well written I find. Certainly helped me a lot when getting started with Python. It takes you nicely from “command line tool” to programming in Python, I found. If you are used to shell scripting, you will pick Python up in no time. I recon you need just one month to be effective, the rest comes over time as with all programming languages, it’s called experience :)
You can download and print the PDF or other formats here: https://docs.python.org/3/download.html Then you can still read it on the couch.
You may also want to remember the word “pythonic”, which is how people describe doing certain things by leveraging the Python principles, basically some syntax hacks that makes Python really easy.
Last but not least you will sooner or later also (want to) come across The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Python!<https://docs.python-guide.org/>, which you can buy as a hard copy as well, if you like.
Hope this helps!
