[TriPython] recommendation request

[Will Spearman]

I have not read it cover to cover, but I once purchased Learning Python (
https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/learning-python-5th/9781449355722/)
for a family member who was already a developer. I looked through it
extensively and liked that it was more about learning the syntax and idioms
than teaching you to code, which is exactly what I was looking for.
