Book Recommendation

[python newbie]

I recommend "dive into python" by Mark Pilgrim, free at diveintomark.com.
It's a great pdf, continually updated. At the start of each chapter, you get
some new python code in your face right away, and then he explains the
chapter's concepts using this code, and covers a lot in a painless, quick
way.
