Usually I'm an O'Reilly snob, but this is the best Python book out there, including O'Reilly's Programming Python . I used it when I was learning the language, and continue to rely on it as my primary reference. This book and the online documentation are all you'll need.

It's hard to come back to this after reading so much Other Nabokov. Other Nabokov remains untainted by all the disclaimers and "okay, but"'s heaped on this particular book. If I could take it out of time and history, I would love it more. (Dumb. I am a New Critic at heart.)
