There is a brilliant new book (albeit somewhat advanced) that I don't see in this list: Introduction to Python for Econometrics, Statistics and Data Analysis (2014) by Kevin Sheppard. PDF available for free here: https://www.kevinsheppard.com/images/0/09/Python_introductio...
Aspiring programmer here. So, I've completed the following from that page and on the web: - Google's Python course ( https://developers.google.com/edu/python/ ) - Learn Python the Hard Way ( http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book ) - ThinK Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist ( http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/thinkpython.pdf ) Also working on the O'Reilly Python book. Three books later, I still don'…

My personal experience is that "learn language X" is more difficult and less productive than "learn to do Y with language X."
Figure out what you want to accomplish with the language and worry about the rest along the way.

Wouldn't a curated list be much better? We can all type "python programming" on amazon and get a pretty similar list of books. It is not interesting. What is interesting is to know which book to read.
Does anything like that exist?

Whoring for amazon affiliate money would be fine if he were making recommendations based on knowledge and experience, but this is just plain whoring for change regardless of its impact on readers.
A bad programming book can set you back by wasting your time. These books might not be bad, but how would he know, without reading them?
99% of the knowledge on that list can be found on http://greenteapress.com/
and the pygame stuff here http://thepythongamebook.com/en:pygame:start
no affiliate links on either.

This is a collection of real world python projects written in 500 lines or less. https://github.com/aosabook/500lines The goal was to be a resource for intermediate python developers to be able to look at real world applications. Hope this helps.
Edit: After browsing through the list of projects, I found three which were both interesting / useful to me and (just about) within my abilities:
* Guido van Rossum’s web-site crawler
* Ned Batchelder’s template engine
* Malini Das’ simple Continuous Integration system
