Greetings, John,
For my money, that book is:
Learning Python, 2nd Edition
By David Ascher, Mark Lutz
Publisher: O'Reilly
Pub Date: December 2003
ISBN: 0-596-00281-5
Pages: 620
$25.19 new, 18.47 used (+ shipping)
From amazon.com
I taught myself Python with this book, and I still use it nearly every
day.
BTW, there are several excellent tutorials for free online, but you
asked about books :^)
Regards,
Barry
