Lutz and Ascher are good; have a look at the sample chapter,
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lpython/chapter/ch09.html, and
see if the style &c agrees with you.

So is Gauld; run, don't walk, to http://www.crosswinds.net/~agauld/
and you'll get a VERY good idea of what is in his book and
whether you will like it (I think you will).
