Steve,

There are several books out there, some for Python 2.x, some for Python
3.x.   None that are quite like K&R in my opinion.
However, here are some resources that may be useful for you, web based but
some providing PDF download so you can build a book if you like.

A Byte of Python <http://www.swaroopch.com/notes/Python>

Dive into Python v.2 <http://diveintopython.org/>       Dive into
Python v.3<http://diveintopython3.org/>

The Learning to Program Website (teaches using Python)<http://www.alan-g.me.uk/>

How to Think Like a Computer Scientist (also teaches using
Python)<http://openbookproject.net//thinkCSpy/#>
