First, learn python 3. Make sure your book is based on that.
Second don't ignore the tutorial on the Python web site - it is kept up
to date with new releases whereas books will always become out of date
in the details.

My recommendation for a Python 3 beginner is
Mark Sommerville's "Programming in Python 3" from Addison Wesley.

In addition to the core language it covers a wide range of
topics beyond the basics but without going too deep. I found
his style very readable.

And of course, if you have any questions come back here...

PS. You could also try my tutorial(see below)...
