Just getting into Python my background is using BASIC (yes I’m old) looking for some good free books ideally in PDF

I’m not really into watching a YouTube beginners guide as you end up writing turn the stuff anyway.

Failing that any recommendation for real books from Amazon on beginning with Python

Also looking for something that lists all the commands you can use with some examples (going back to my BASIC days when you got a getting started guide and it had all the command and examples, from that you could work out how to do almost anything)

Thank you.

As said in the header. Hi, I'm interested in learning python as I have that for my engineering course Does anyone have any pdf books or link from where I can read any books related to python programming for beginners?

Folks is there a good library to read PDF documents? I need to scan them for specific text and/or images. What's your recommendation?

If anybody's interested in learning Python, the book covers from the absolute basics to more advanced topics, including OOP and pattern matching (3.10).

The book title: Python for Serious Beginners - A Practical Introduction to Modern Python with Simple Hands-on Projects. Here's the link:

The book is (often) updated. Welcome any feedback or suggestions. 👍👍👍

EDIT: thanks for the feedback. Fixed some typos, and uploaded a new version. 20220907. 🙏

I have an application for which I need to auto-generate some diagrams as PDF files. The graphics aren't anything particularly fancy, just line drawings and some text.

My first instinct was to generate LaTeX code in Python to draw the graphics with TikZ, but I feel like there's probably a better way without the middleman. I see there are a variety of different libraries for generating PDFs, so I'm looking for someone who has used one or more of them to maybe point me towards one which would suit my needs the best.

Edit: I should mention that I currently am manually creating the diagrams in LaTeX with TikZ. It works "well" (speaking as someone fluent in LaTeX, I doubt anyone who isn't would think this is a good solution at all), but it feels weird to add an extra step of generating code that generates the files instead of generating the files I need directly. But TikZ is a good example of the type of control I need - these diagrams aren't super fancy, just showing and labeling arrangements of chairs in rooms.
