There are lots of books, both paper and electronic.
It depends on eactly what yopu want.

Can you already program in another language? If so,
the standard Python tutorial may be sufficient? If
not, one of the non-programmers tutorials
(like mine :-) will be better.

Personally I wouldn't recommed buyoing a paper book
until after you have learned the basics. Then you can
decide if you want a general reference (Python in a
Nutshell for example) or a specialist text like
Python Network Programming, say.

The Python.org site has many tutorials, in all
manner of styles, it just depends what kind of
tutorial you like.
