I rather like the O'Reilly 'Cookbook' series. There is a nice one for Python ( http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596007973.do ). It's good for of all sorts of typical tasks, and additionally provides useful hints and tips applicable beyond the specific examples.
O'Reilly have a 'Back to School' offer on at the moment, with 50% off ebooks and 40% off print books: http://oreil.ly/SUPaaT The offer expires on Sept. 18th. (I have no connection with O'Reilly other than as a happy customer.)
