This book, while very useful, is not what it seems or what the title claims. While I am fairly well versed in programming concepts and really like Python, the novice would do well to ignore the book's Title and introductory Prerequisites section that claims no background in programming is necessary. Get another book first. There is an assumption throughout the text that the user knows what different programming concepts are and has a basic undestadning of program flow, methods, OOP, etc. and even vague C++ knowledge would be helpful. My favorite example that appears is 2**X, with no previous mention of what this means--You know what it means if you know what it means. Python is an excellent introductory language, but use another book.
