A couple of years ago I was in the same boat you're in now.  I learned
from _Python in a Nutshell_ by Alex Martelli and still use it as my
main reference.  (It only covers up to version 2.2 so a new edition
would be most welcome.)  I also use the on-line Python docs and I
second Larry Bates' comments re. the cookbook and the Windows book,
both of which I also use occasionally.
