Python Handbook

The Python Handbook is my free introduction to Python for beginners.Download the Python Handbook PDF to read offline, or get the EPUB from the download library.

What you'll learn

Start with variables, strings and numbers, then work through lists, dictionaries, loops and functions. The book also introduces classes, exceptions, modules and virtual environments.

You can work through the examples with Python 3. For current setup instructions, see installing Python on macOS and using virtual environments. Prefer reading online? Follow the Python learning path.
