It's not a book, but I loved it and it is really helpful.

• MicroPython

I would recommend compiling a debug build of Python and stepping through it while it executes your script, even if it takes you an entire day for a simple script. Python is a big dictionary sandwich. Everything is a dictionary, even dictionaries.

What does

A.b.c() do?

You do not need to know the Python internals. The semantics are good enough, but the leak through everywhere. You might enjoy using https://micropython.org/ to learn instead.
