"Learning Python" is good for people with some programming background.
"Dive into Python" is popular but IMO it focuses too much on flashy
features and not enough on the basics. "Beginning Python" and "Core
Python Programming" are also good choices.

These and other books listed here:

Good online resources here:

"Teach yoursef python in 24 hours" is old and gets very poor reviews on
Amazon.com.
