I would also recommend the Python Essential Reference -- not as a book you sit and read, but as, well and essential reference. The latest version covers 2.4 and most of the standard library, so there's lots of good stuff in there.
Programming Python, Python Web Programming are both dated now, but I got a lot out of them in their time. I don't think anybody ought to write web application the way Steve does it in Python Web Programming, but I definitely learned a lot by going through the process of writing a web server/application using nothing but the standard library. ;) I've heard some good things about Python Network Programming, but I haven't seen it myself, so I can't really comment. I also understand that there is a new version of Core Python coming out in a couple months, and if it's like the original it will a good introductory-intermediate on the language.
