I am starting to studying Python. I have some previous experience with C (beginner level).
Probably the standard tutorial on the web site is the best place for you to start.
"Learning Python" by Lutz & Ascher,
And this is very good supporting material.
"Python How to Program" by Deitel and others.
And this is particularly good as an intro into the wider areas such as PyGame, XML/HTML GUIs and Network programming. The early chapters are done better IMHO by Lutz, aand the official tutor.
Your next purchase should be either or both of:
Python in a Nutshell - a great 'pocket' reference and Python Programming on Win32 - but only if you are using Windows of course!
You have more than enough beginner material already.

I'd also try to fit in Dive Into Python [http://diveintopython.org/]. This book really got me hooked on Python. It assumes you know some programming.
