OTOH, I got "Learning Python" and I've found that after reading just
the first half of the book and doing maybe 1/4 of the exercises, I
had a very good grasp of the language, including classes and
exceptions (both new ideas to me). From there the next step is to
skim the second half looking for useful bits, or poke around in the
library reference manual.

But then, it did take more than 24 hours. :)
