Python for Absolute Beginners starts from the absolute basics such as how to install the Python tools on your machine, and how to use the Python interactive shell. The book covers all the key concepts of Python 3 with the enough depth to be useful even to the experienced programmers.

Python for Absolute Beginners is rather unique in that, throughout the book, we cover the fundamentals of Python programming while working on a few simple real programming projects. The book also includes a few "lab sessions" with a number of practical exercises, in which the readers can practice real hands-on programming.

Python for Absolute Beginners covers the following topics, among others:
The basic structure of a Python program.
Basic constructs of Python such as expressions and statements.
Simple builtin data types, e.g., as integer, float, bool, and string.
Complex builtin data types, e.g., list, tuple, and dictionary.
Builtin functions and methods, e.g., print, input, type, etc.
Arithmetic and comparison operations.
Variables and assignments.
Loops using `for` and `while`.
Conditional expressions and conditional statements.
