book recommendation?

[Ben Catanzariti]

If you are using a Win environment i would recommend "Python Programming On
Win 32" by Hammond & Robertson. This is a must have. or for a general OS
information "Programming Python" another must have (you can never have too
many) ... both published by O' Rielly and both are compliant with Version 2.

Check out
