That's the library reference - the one to keep under the pillow.
It also documents the core -- i.e. builtin objects.


As for the language semantics, I suggest the whole of

http://docs.python.org/tut/

then a bit of

http://docs.python.org/ref/ref.html

A good alternative could be the new edition of Python in a Nutshell.
The author has a very clear style and leaves no corners uncovered.
