Python Cookbook (2nd ed.) by Alex Martelli, if you really want a dead
tree book.  It's not so much about Python itself, as how to accomplish
various things with it.  If you just want to learn the language, use
the standard tutorial and reference manuals and read some source code
and PEP's.  Books aren't that much help.

Dive Into Python is a pretty good book and as you noted, you can
browse it online enough to form your own impressions.  I think if you
have experience with other languages then you don't really need a book
to learn Python.
