Quick Python v.s. Learning Python

[Charles]

I have half-a-dozen Python books (I consider myself a newbie, Perl convert,
actually) and I think that Quick Python is the best.  It's coverage of
Tkinter is *LOUSY* but the rest of it is great.  The O'Reilly Python book
has a better intro/explanation to Tkinter.  I'm also using Tcl/Tk in a
Nutshell to help me with options etc.
