I first learned Python using the official tutorial - already knew VB, 
Java, Pascal, bits of C and C++ and some almost unknown crappy 
proprietary basic-like language - and I found it a pretty good 
introduction to what one *must* know about Python.

But YMMV of course - and I'm by no mean saying DIP is a bad book !-)
