"The Design Pattern Smalltalk companion" is a terrific book. Python in
lots of ways is more close to Smalltalk than C++/java. Once you go over
the syntax barrier, it's an easier read compared to the GoF book.

"Thinking in Patterns with Java" by Bruce Eckel
is available online at http://www.topica.com/lists/TIPatterns/
It uses jpython as example of Interpreter pattern.
