For something in between, check out the Instant Python page.  It is
especially good for existing programmers who are inpatient.  I learned the
basics of Python in one afternoon - good enough to use functions, lists,
dictionaries, classes, modules and the exception mechanism.  You can get a
pretty good feel about the language faster than reading some reviews.
