Chris,

   You might also consider wandering over to Powell's and buying a copy of
Mark Lutz's "Learning Python, 5th Edition." It covers through 2.7 and 3.3
and makes a good wheel chock at 1700 pages in one soft-cover book (it should
have been published as a 3-volume set). Regardless, if you want a
comprehensive understanding of Python (both 2 and 3), that's worth your
reading. Just don't drop it on your toes.
