Great Python books for the beginner

[Landon]

Hi, I'm a freshman in college and I'm going to be taking an intro to
programming course next semester which mainly uses Python, so I
thought it might be a good time to pick up Python beyond the scope of
the class as well. The text book for this class is Python for the
Absolute Beginner or something similar to that name.

I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on what other titles I
could look into since this one seems from a glance at reviews to be
teaching mainly through game programming (a topic I'm not too
interested in) or if this one is a quality book by itself.
