If you need reference books that delve deep into the language while
being somewhat understandable, I would recommend "Programming Python"
by Lutz or "Core Python Programming" by Chun. "Beginning Python" by
Hetland covers just about everything you'd need to know and it
includes some fairly complex examples in the back...plus it's about
half the size of the other two books.

Other than that, I'd with the other guys on this. The web has lots of
good examples, puzzles and for most of the standard library, decent
docs, although not always with good or thorough examples.

Enjoy!
