If your going to pay for anything (dead-tree-wise), you could do a lot
worse than Mark Lutz's "Programming Python" - I've used it in
combination with some of the text files online, and I'm doing fine so
far, despite not even having the C++ experience you've got! Its
published by O'Reilley (which for me at least makes it gospel <g>) and
you can get it on amazon.com...
