    Actually, for <2.0 learning for someone who has programming experience I'd
say go with the Beazley Book, Python Essential Reference.  It is a concise,
well written reference book on the language.  It doesn't try to teach
programming, it is a reference to the Python language with enough attentioned
paid to how to program in Python for the experienced programmer to pick it up
quite quickly.
