Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional (Beginning: From Novice to Professional) by Magnus Lie Hetland
Excellent book that teaches almost everything there is to get one started in the wonderful world of Python, mostly in a humorous way and sometimes in a serious way. Magnus has to be one of the best computer book writers there is, and an amazing & friendly teacher.
I liked the examples and his presentation, though I wouldn't recommend it as the _only_ book to read for learning beginning python.
I found it useful, but not great. I found several useful nuggets of information. Overall, it just didn't match my learning style.
A great introduction to the language. Through yet concise, covered a lot of material, and generally provided a great introduction to the language (if not a simple reference manual)
