If you can only buy *one* Python book...

[Paul E. Bible]

I found 'Learning Python' to be very easy to read and a great book to get
started programming in Python...
The 'Python Essential Reference' is a good addition to the online
documentation as well.  I found 'Programming Python'
somewhat difficult to follow myself.
