Python Books and Manuals?

Coding Python Support

Hello,

I am looking to learn more about python scripting in Blender and python programing in general. Does anyone know of any good Python Books and/or Manuals? (Note: I’m using Macs and OS X Leopard. I don’t know if that makes a difference.)

Thanks!

Here is a nice basic one on python itself:
http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/

Once you have read that, you may want to look into this one, but it is kinda boring and should be used like a reference:
http://www.python.org/doc/tut/

Once you’ve done the first one (and maybe some of the second), this one will get you started with scripting in Blender:

If you want to view it offline (.pdf):
