Consider first reading the tutorial.  If you prefer to read from paper
there is a PDF version
<http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.2/download.html>.

There is also the "Python in a Nutshell" book which only covers Python
2.2 but has a very concise language intro, and will become an
invaluable reference.  I wish I had started with this book; then I
wouldn't have needed to buy some of the others.
