> http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ I have never used that myself, but I have seeen plenty of stackoverflow and student questions about it. In short, it's horrible.
The book mostly consists of basic Python programs, and beginners often fail to grasp even the most basic structures demonstrated, mainly because they're not explained. The book has some of the easy-to-approach informality of, say, the Head First ones, but fails to contain the the actual explanations for it. (And I have no idea why one would start with Python 2.x, given that everything's strange in there - instead of relying on the intuitive grasp that both "a" and "รค" are single character strings, and that print is a function like any other, they have to work with a lot of magic and hand-waving) - Philipp
