It will show you just what Python to learn, and give you real-world examples of all of it.

I will take note of the other suggestions made here for our program at Sugar Labs for teaching Python to schoolchildren using the Pippy IDE, and using the Python programming tiles in Turtle Art. You might find those interesting yourself.

In my opinion, this book is the best for newbies.

Other good resources related to the stdlib are “Python Pocket Reference” and http://getpython3.com/diveintopython3/ .
