Core Python Applications Programming is a great book. Touches on a TON of different technologies and the examples are very easy to follow.

personalmente mi sentirei di consigliare "core python programming" di wesley chun, io ho la seconda edizione, l'ho trovato molto ben strutturato.

poi c'è il mai-abbastanza-linkato https://learnpythonthehardway.org/python3/ (un tempo era gratis, magari online si trova ancora da qualche parte)

per fare qualche esercizio puoi buttarti su projecteuler.net

come ide uso vs code, che visto che è praticamente solo un editor di testo (plugin a parte) mi vien bene per qualsiasi cosa, senza andare su roba troppo specifica come pycharm

come step successivo, o perchè no, anche parallelo, magari potresti cominciare a dare un'occhiata a react o angular, da usare per esempio come frontend di flask o django...

I get quite a lot from books, reading them, working through problems when I need to. But if I could go back in time and tell myself which books I should read, I'd go with (in order):

• Bare-Basics
  
  
• What you need to afterwards learn stuff on your own - more focus on classes, what an algorithm is and how to start thinking about them, data structures
  
  
• Filling out the missing pieces, including web stuff, databases, microsoft office, computer graphics, cloud computing
  
  
• Some of the more difficult to grasp concepts of Python, but very short; functional programming, closures, decorators, etc.
  
  But there are so many really amazing resources on the web for free, that beyond some of the more basic stuff where you really need someone to explain to you why your code doesn't work and that sort of thing it really shouldn't cost you a lot of money.

For me, it's Core Python Applications Programming by Wesley Chun. Just check out the table of contents. He gives you insight into seeing the power of Python and allows you to explore what else you want to do.

I think docs are cool and all, but project based learning is what I like best and he goes line by line through working code samples. For example, in chapter 7 or 8 (I forget) he codes a functioning web crawler. I've been sticking print statements everywhere to see what works and why and he explains things really well. I'm skipping the first part of the book and diving directly into the web development portion, but the stuff he has in there about GUI programming with Tkinter, Multithreading, and Network Programming all seem really cool.

If you're looking for an intro to programming in Python I would suggest Introduction to Computation and Programming Using Python For a general language reference Python Essential Refernce For an introduciton to the included modules The Python Standard Library by example which includes a lot of simple code examples. The book Core Python Application Programming is a great subset of the above books with less over all coverage but greater detail in the example code. And last but not least, for advanced algorithm info Annotated Algorithms in Python
