Development

Hello this is Gulshan Negi
I am a software developer and work in the software development department. Well, I always focus on learning and enhancing my skills in programming languages. Nowadays I am looking to improve my skills in Python, and my concern is: what are some of the most comprehensive and up-to-date Python books that cover the latest versions of the language (Python 3.9 and above) and the most popular libraries and frameworks, such as NumPy, Pandas, Flask, and Django, and how can I select the best book(s) based on my specific needs and interests?
Hoping for some kind responses.
Thanks

You may get some responses here, but this forum is about JUCE, which is a C++ based framework. I’m sure plenty of people also use Python, but your best answer might come from a forum focused on Python.
