I'll jump in and recommend the book "Python in a Nutshell" by Martelli.  
It may be a little dated now, but it covers many Python topics in good 
detail without becoming a bloated reference. Nicely written.  It's still 
the first book I reach for after 6 years of Python coding and it rarely 
disappoints.
