I must recommend you "Learning Python" from O'reilly that is an
excellent book but not free...This is the only one I've read about python.
For byteofpython I haven't read it but if it covers python 2.3 sure it
is sufficient to learn python as 2.4 has just introduced some new
advanced features.

Also take a look at:

Good examples that will help you in your learning.

Dive into python must be read _after_ you've read and tryied a little
python :)
