Python

Sup /prog/?
I'm looking to start learning Python, can someone suggest a good book for doing so, preferably one that cuts the crap.

Learn Python the Hard Way.

Yes. http://www.univ-orleans.fr/lifo/software/stdprolog/bips.html

go away Zed, your books suck, everyone I know who has read your books say that they have not learned anything

His books are decent, he's just a douchebag.

this book is free and comes with an online interactive console to do the exercises. even if you never use javascript you will learn way more about programming from this book rather than do mindless repl drills like in Learn XXX the Hard Way

I've skimmed Zed's books and they're among the worst I've skimmed.

Who the fuck are you asking and why is that a question? Are you one of those mentally challenged people?
