i started learning python with the book, _the quick python book_ (harms/mcdonald).
it's a decent book, if you don't mind the gazillion typos in there and have a bit
of programming experience.
i recently discovered the book, _how to think like a computer scientist:
learning with python_ (downey). i've read a lot of it, and i think that it's a
good beginner's book -- flows nicely, easy to understand, definitions provided.
there is a free online copy in pdf/postscript format you can print out and use:

this and other python books are listed at the python.org website:

you may find the beginner's guide/index of resources at the python.org site
useful:
