Any recommendations for a book introducing algorithms/datastructures and Big-O notation to #Python developers, especially data scientists?

(I already know Big-O so it's harder for me to tell how good an introduction is, so ideally I'd like recommendations from someone who learned it this way recently.)

@itamarst Not a book, and maybe presumptuous of me, but this was my attempt: https://nedbatchelder.com/text/bigo.html

Big-O: How Code Slows as Data Grows

Big-O notation can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. A common-sense approach will give you a good working technique for analyzing the time complexity of your code.
