Hi Alexis

Books I found really helpful were/are:

Magnus Lie Hetland's "Practical Python"
Alan Gauld's "Learn to program using Python"
Deitel & Co's "Python: How to program"

along with a number of very help tutorials on the web (check out the 
Python website) and of course, the "Python reference" by Beazley (altho' 
not a good intro unless you are comfortable with programming generally)
