>Lots.
>Huge book.

>Core Python Programming. Wesley Chun. Assumes you already know some other
>high
>level programming language. Starts with a nice overview chapter, and then
>has
>a chapter on each topic which goes into more detail. My favorite of the
>three
>I have. Not as big as Programming Python, 2nd ed, and the print is larger.
>Lighter to read. Many examples.
>
>Quick Python. Daryl Harms and Kenneth McDonald. An extremely concise
>overview
>for someone who already knows how to program in another language. Small and
>compact. I haven't looked at this one quite as much. A fair number of
>examples. Most examples are snippets, rather than full programs.
