Reddit reviews Data Structures and Algorithms in Python

As I recall, that's a pretty decent book/course. It's free, so just dive in and you can decide yourself if it's worth sticking with. Plus, the favicon kind of looks like Professor Farnsworth, so that's a bonus, I guess.

Other options:

Keeping to python, there's these two:

http://www.amazon.com/Structures-Algorithms-Python-Michael-Goodrich/dp/1118290275

And the MIT 6.006 Intro. Algo. course is taught in Python:

Beyond python this is a pretty standard text (and is used for 6.006):

I don't know why you're getting downvoted.

Unless you want to learn programming and what it entails (algorithms and data structures), this is fine. A course, in all honesty, would be too slow. The majority of the material in the codeacademy course, it appears, is covered in the official Python tutorial, which goes even further in depth. Here's to save you googling:

• The Official guide for Python 2
  
• The Standard Style Conventions
  
• Before anything, INSTALL conda, pip is waaaay too much of a hassle
  
  Now, if you want to learn programming at an intern's level for example, Goodrich's book is a good start.

I think the consensus for a good introduction book to python is Automate the Boring Stuff with Python. I knew C++ when I started python and learned it though an Algorithms and Datastructures course in my masters degree. the book from that class is here : Data Structures and Algorithms in Python. Finally I found these tutorials at filling in gaps in my knowledge : Corey Schafer
