If I only had one Python book it would have to
be Programming Python by Lutz.
The reasoning is simple:
1) The standard online documentation covers my
reference requirements adequately (although
I'd hate to give up Beazley's Python Essential
Reference I could, at a pinch, survive using
the official docs)
2) Of all the Python books I think PP best explains
the ideas behind Python as well as covering a lot
of stuff the reference docs don't. Especially
Pythonic idioms.
3) Its a well made book that won't fall apart thru'
regular use.
But if I could have a second book it'd be Beazley
every time!
