Consider Python Machine Learning by Sebastian Raschka. Recommended by 2 sources.
“Python Machine Learning pairs concise algorithm descriptions with runnable Python examples and a linked GitHub repository. Early chapters are directly practical if you follow the notebooks; later sections compress derivations and long code walkthroughs that demand slower, hands-on reading. The clearest payoff comes from adapting the examples to your own data rather than passive skimming. Expect a utilitarian finish: usable code snippets and clearer implementation patterns, but not a gentle, classroom-style sequence of exercises.”
