> For a handy reference, you can't beat "Python Essential  Reference" by David 
Beazley (along with the online documentation, of course!).  I think this
book 
is obligatory if you are going to be working with Python a lot.  I own
all 
four editions :)

> But you wanted something more in depth with algorithms, etc.  The O'Reilly 
book "Programming Python" by Mark Lutz is a classic and is probably a
good bet 
for you.  Core Python by Wesley Chun is also good, and I've seen him on
this 
list from time to time.

+1 on all of Chris's recommendations with a special +1 for Mark Lutz's
book.
