Well, I guess this is my day for BSP;-)  Sorry, folks.  I'll just repeat
what I said earlier:

If you have some programming experience already, the best choice (and
available right now) is David Ascher & Mark Lutz' _Learning Python_ from
O'Reilly.

If you have no programming experience, you can wait till the end of
March for my book, _Teach Yourself Python in 24 Hours_, which is meant
explicitly for those who are complete beginners in programming and
Python.

By following this link, you go to the Python Software Activity's
Bookstore, and they get a small percentage if you buy the book by
clicking on their links:

        http://www.python.org/psa/bookstore/

I do not expect readers to be familiar with other programming languages,
so you won't find features in Python likened to features (or bugs) in
other languages.

Then you can write a book and call it _The Education of
*T*I*F*F*A*N*Y*_.

<gordon-you'll-get-this-one>-ly y'rs,
Ivan;-)
