Yeah, reading the Fluent Python book[1] and / or following along with their support files[2] would a good way to start

Just fyi to cheapskates like me, i was looking around for a free pdf, some are hosted on github, others on google docs. Putting the pdf urls into https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/url , all were suspicious or malicious. I think ill search around a bit more, but will probably give up.

Unfortunately it seems pdfs linked there may also be malicious ( https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/7e73cc3d685c77d88ad9cf769... ). I checked on some other pdf links ive downloaded previously and they were safe, so I don’t believe the software just flags everything.

But it could be if the coding book includes working examples and exercises, that would probably flag any system looking for code execution.

I'm inclined to say that those are false positives, given the obscurity of the vendors who are flagging the URL.
