You can find a huge list of Free Python Books here http://importpython.com/books/ . A total of 52 free books and 250+ Python Books.
The best Python book that I have seen in year 2016 is the book titled “Introduction to Computing and Problem Solving with Python”. This is authored by Jeeva Jose and published by Khanna Publishers.The presentation of the book is simple and systamatic. It takes the reader from basics to advanced portions smoothly. Even self leaners can use this book comfortably.
All Chapters have worked out programs, illustrations, review and frequently asked interview questions. More than 300 solved lab exercises available in this book is tested in Python 3.4.3 version for Windows.
The first two Chapters introduce the reader on digital computers and programming. The third Chapter gives an introduction to Python which includes reserved keywords, identifiers, variables and operators. The fourth Chapter gives detailed explanation about data types and their operations. Chapter 5 illustrates flow control techniques which include decision making and looping. Functions are covered in Chapter 6. Chapter 7 explains built-in modules, user defined modules, packages, time, calendar and datetime modules. File handling is covered in Chapter 8. The entire concept of Object Oriented Programming is explained in Chapter 9. Various Exception Handling techniques are explained in Chapter 10. The Chapters 11 & 12 cover advanced topics like Python Regular Expressions and Database Programming in detail.
Anyone can add books to this list.
