"Core Python Programming "from PH is easily the better book for easing into 
Python. I am an O'Reilly fan and generally buy their books blind if it is 
on a subject I am interested in (since they very rarely disappoint). 
However on this occassion the PH book is a genuinely good book and worth 
buying, considerably more than the Learning Python book and the 2e version 
of Programming Python.

My opinion!
