Is there a K&R on Python?

There is a reason it is called essential.  First 100 pages, 
everything essential about the language, next 200 pages, 
short descriptions of all the essential modules included 
in the distribution.  Get the 2nd version for Python 2.1, 
or the first version for Python 1.5.

Thanks,
