For internet programming, Steve Holden's "Python Web Programming" is
excellent.

For leaning Python, "Learning Python" from O'Reilly is a good one (in
addition to all the stuff on the web)

"Python Essential Reference, David Beazley, New Riders, ISBN:
0-7357-1091-0".

I agree on tnis one. It is excellent, but it really is a reference, not
a tutorial, If you are new to Python, you will need at least something
to get up to speed, the "official" tutorial on the python.org site at
the very least.
