It depends on your needs, budget, and learning style, really.

If this is what I think it is, The book _Python How to Program_ covers
essentially all the same material, only you don't get it on CD. A lot of
handy information is conveyed in both, although nothing is beyond criticism.
The book alone is $80 (USD) on amazon.com, but "The Complete Python Training
Course" is currently listed as a few dollars less. Normally I would assume
this is not the case.

If you'd like a book that will introduce necessary basics of a lot of useful
programming tasks, and will present a decent introduction to Python, it
should do the job nicely. It's not beyond criticism, as none are, but it
does take the time to explain a things in what is generally plain language.
Try to see if you can get a used copy and save a few bucks, though.
