I bought a copy of Learning Python in a local technical bookstore that
doesn't have a very good selection, so it ought to be easy to find.
I haven't read the book carefully, but I did read through the chapter
on classes (Chap. 6). I thought it was an excellent introduction to
OOP and Python. It is much more thorough than the Python tutorial and
other free documentation. So I don't think you'll go wrong with
Learning Python.
