The Python Essential Reference by David Beazley is quite good, fairly complete, and covers the differences between 2 and 3. The first couple hundred pages are a tutorial that I felt gave me my sea legs, and then there's a good deal of topic based reference material. Vaguely reminiscent of the pickaxe.
