A good point was brought up to me privately, and I agree completely, that the OP should re-state the request with a bit more specifics...
Since the OP says he is at least familiar with Python, does he need info on beginner level books that are general purpose, or is he interested in resources that are more specific (e.g. geared toward web programming, mathematical analysis, data modeling, etc).... My suggestions were meant just as an example of what I use in the course of learning something at the basic and intermediate level, once it goes beyond that, it's useful to know WHAT you intend to do so you can find the right resources to go in that direction. Just want to make sure I am not misunderstood or anything :-) For what it's worth, I also tend to collect technical books for some reason... My wife is just barely tolerant of my bookshelf full of things on various computer topics, astronomy, photography, radio and antenna theory and so forth ;-) I just let her keep her shoe collection, and we have a quid pro quo.
