Hi John,

I would suggest you:

"Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional", by
Magnus Lie Hetland
Publisher: Apress (September 26, 2005) 
ISBN: 159059519X

In my opinion, this is the best and the most
up-to-date Python book for beginner/intermediate
available. I am studying Python by myself with this
book, and I am enjoying it a lot.

I hope this help.
Hoffmann
