I used this book to get addicted to Python ("anfixen" in German ;-).

But be aware, this ain't no book for beginners. You should have some 
experience in some other programming language[s] and in the basics of object 
orientated programming to have fun, otherwise it's hard work (at least 
IMHO).

It costs 69,- German Marks for 380 pages and it's one of of the special 
O'Reilly bounded softcovers (the "Buchrücken" (don't know the English term) 
isn't destroyed if you open it 180 degrees).

Buy it, enjoy it and terrorize your colleagues by repeating "In Python this 
would be easily done in <n> lines" :-))
