Hi,

Can anyone suggest a good python book. I am a mid level programer.

Thank You,
Rajiv

I like Core Python Programming by Wesley Chun.

Thanks Avi.

I like Dive into Python, feels more oriented towards CS people (so you can probably skip all the web stuff) but definitely written for people who already know how to program but don't know Python. Also available for free online:

Thanks Steve. Appreciate it.

I learned a lot from the book:

"Python for Data Analysis" by Wes McKinney

It might be too specific because it only describes the how to use Numpy and Pandas but I think you will find it very useful.
