Greetings

There are mountains of books out there.

Any suggestions for documents for a just learning how to program and
starting with Python (3)?

Preference to a tool where I would be learning by doing - - - that
works well for me.

TIA

Check out these resources:

"Object-Oriented Programming in Python Documentation" - a PDF file,
Introduction to Programming Using Python - Y Daniel Liang (2013),
How to Think Like a Computer Scientist - Peter Wentworth (2012-08-12),
The Coder's Apprentice - Pieter Spronck (2016-09-21), and
Python Programming - John Zelle (2009).

And I should not forget to mention the resources from
Python org:

Python Tutorial
The Python Library Reference
The Python Language Reference
(and more ...)

which I prefer to download as PDF files and then modify my
local environment so that I can open each of them with just
two or three keystrokes. (Some advanced learners who already
know other languages might prefer these references to books.)

In this case, you should select sources by whether they include
exercises.

I also could teach the first steps (only some very basic
steps!) in a learning-by-doing style live via the newsgroup,
but there needs to be at least one participant (student)!

So get in touch via this newsgroup if you're interested!
