I'd love to know if there are any good completed online books about python. I'm oddly new at programming (being a mere IT consultant for about 6 years now and finally deciding to concentrate on something) and I'm loving it a lot. I've learned a fair amount of php, taught myself objects, mvc, a couple different sqls (tsql, mysql), and a few different php frameworks.

I keep trying out other languages (I liked python's intro) but when it comes time to making something I fall back into php because I know it very well. I feel almost stuck. Like a need a python project. =p



You could try Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist by Allen B. Downey.

http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/thinkpython.html

It is due to be published by Cambridge University Press under the title Python for Software Design. The link above is for the same content, available for free.



I always recommend Dive Into Python to people who already know some programming (if they're interested in Python).
