If you're experienced with other programming languages, I'd recommend
python in a nutshell, or perhaps programming python. I personally just
skimmed through the online tutorial, and kept the library and api
references handy.
Orielly publishers almost always have excellent books on learning new
programming languages.
I would also recommend to stay away from any "for dummies" or "in x
(hours/days)" books. They can be decent introductory material, but
unless you are really really new to programming, you probably wouldn't
be getting enough information to justify the cost of the book (and a
lot of times they have a lot of bad practices in them)
Good luck!
