+1 for ATBSWP! It's def my favorite resource for Python - I also feel it helps take away some of the fear of both coding and the term 'automation'. Thanks for this list!

Great article as always.

For those just starting out in programming, a great initial exposure is py4e.com/ as well as the textbook and corresponding free FutureLearn course
