If you are a programmer and know at least one OO language well, I
recommend David Beazley's book 'Python: Essential Reference' from New
Riders. It's a reference book but has a tutorial introduction and if
you already know about sprintf and inheritance and operator
overloading and that kind of thing, then you'll probably get
everything you need in that book. It covers the entire language as
well as the standard library and has numerous short examples to
illustrate the API.
BTW, as you may not know if you aren't reading the python-doc special
interest group (SIG) mailing list, the python 'info' is broken in the
src build, and so you need to grab a prebuilt copy from
ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/doc/2.1.1/
