I like this Python Data Science Handbook https://jakevdp.github.io/PythonDataScienceHandbook/

Highly recommend ‘Automate the Boring Stuff with Python’ by @alsweigart.bsky.social.

Oh my gosh y'all, thank you! She is already proficient in QIIME 2 & I think R, so I was excited when she said she wanted to learn Python over the break. You all have suggested some good tutorials, thanks!

"Switching languages is about switching mindsets - not just syntax. New developments in python data science toolings, like polars and seaborn’s object interface, can capture the ‘feel’ that converts from R/tidyverse love while opening the door to truly pythonic workflows."

This is really well written. As someone who likes ggplot2 and “grammar of graphics” type thinking but now primarily works in python instead of r (and does data viz not software development), presents an interesting perspective.
