I agree with the opinion expressed below, but I would also recommend the New Riders book "Python Essential Reference". Lutz and Asher is a nice introduction to Python, but since Python is so easy to learn, the need for a good reference comes very quickly. I find "Python Essential Reference" to be quite handy. --
The answer is very simple: get
"Learning Python" by Mark Lutz & David Ascher, ISBN 1-56592-464-9
Don't waste money on any other Python book. (I have 4 books on Python, and flipped through another two.) When you feel strong enough, then you may want to explorer more specific topics in Python, you can then buy more books. But for beginners, the above book should be the ONLY book that you need.

Hung Jung
