Thanks to all who helped me make this descision.  Not that it was life
threatening or anything. :)  It really instills some confidence to have some
other people who have been there help out.
I ordered through bookpool.com  Jeff is right, 44-45% off all Orielly books
in stock.  So I even managed to save some dollars and ordered "Learning
Python" and "Essential Reference."  I figured I would get going with these
then look at Annotated Reference and in July see what WROX publishing is
offering in their new release for Python.

Thanks Again....
