There really aren't any, assuming you're comfortable reading web-based
material.  If it's important to you to have a reference book, probably
_Python in a Nutshell_ would be best.  If you're looking for a tutorial,
I'll plug my own _Python for Dummies_.  ;-)

This is Python.  We don't care much about theory, except where it intersects 
with useful practice.
