  The Lutz book is a good one, but when I set up an online
  curriculum for programming for a local school district, I 
  chose python for the second semester and the book that we
  used was "Learn to Program Using Python", by Alan Gauld.

  I'm going to recommend it, even tho' many features have been
  added to python since (2001), it does a good job on the
  basics.
