“Python for beginners” is a pretty good starting point for anyone new to Python programming. It begins with the basics, covering fundamental concepts like computers and programming before diving into Python itself. The chapters guide you through essential topics such as variables, data input and output, and conditionals. You'll also learn about loops, strings, lists, and dictionaries, which are essential basics for writing effective code.

As you progress, the book introduces more advanced concepts, like functions and working with files. It even covers how to use the Matplotlib library for creating graphs and visualizations. With clear explanations and practical exercises the book provides a solid foundation in Python and encourages further learning. A solid book for beginners who want to build up their programming skills step by step. (Probably not the best python book by any means, but it will do to learn the basics)

As with coding as with any other topic you will not learn the skills just by reading. Reading opens up the concepts and philosophies you have to understand, but you probably have to spend more time mastering the craft in real world, trying to apply what you have learned by reading.
