I'm surprised nobody mentioned Dive Into Python:

http://diveintopython.org/

Available for free online. Most Python books contain a lot of 'hello 
world' material which for someone who knows at least one programming 
language is boring, this one doesn't, it cuts straight to the point. I 
found it very readable.
