I highly recommend the Visual Quickstart Guide book titled Python by Chris
Fehily.  It's very clear, with lots and lots of good, short illustrative
examples.  It doesn't cover everything, but is an excellent starter book,
and once you've covered the material it present, you'll probably be able to
get whatever else you need from the online docs at python.org.
