Python 2.4 is pretty old at this point.  A lot has been added to the
language since then, and Python 3 introduced a number of large,
backward-incompatible changes.  I don't have any specific book
recommendations, but you should look for a book written for Python 3
if possible, since that is the future of Python.  If not, then look
for something that at least targets Python 2.6, which I would expect
to include sections about coding with an eye toward Python 3
compatibility.

Cheers,
