Python Practice Book is written by Anand Chitipothu.

Python Practice Book introduces one Python language concept at a time and immediately follows up with a questions or two to test your understanding of the concept.

The Book is compact and uses Programmer friendly style of showing code snippet along with an explanation. It's non verbose style makes it for a quick read.

From Pedagogy perspective the book's explanation equip the reader with requisite knowledge to answer the questions. Those who just learned Python or are in process of learning it should read Python Practice Book.

The book covers the following topics and has coding assignments/questions for each topic

Basic data types of Python (int, str, dict, list), how to use it (list/dict comprehensions, common operations) ,

Looping constructs and Condition Evaluation ( if, else, True, False, for, while ),

Object Oriented Programming with Python (class, inheritance) and modules,

Iterators and Generators ( Very well written explaination of Iterators protocol and How to create your own generators ),

Functional Programming with Python.

Recently I recommended this Book to an Entrepreneur who incorporated it into their month long Python training for newbies/new joinees. They have nothing but good things to say about the book.

Anand's experience of taking many Python workshops over the years reflects in the quality of the content in the book.
