what is a good intro book on python ?

[Larry Bates]

I learned a lot from the following two books:

Python 2.1 Bible, Dave Brueck and Stephen Tanner

and

Python Programming on Win32 by Mark Hammond and
 Andy Robinson

You also need a copy of the Standard Library
that you can get from www.python.org.
