"Beginning Python" by Magnus lie Hetland is good. I have the first edition, but not the second. I can only imagine that it got better. "Head First Programming: A Learner's Guide to Programming Using the Python Language" by David Griffiths and Paul Barry was a great read. It's unconventional (by their nature, all Head First books are), but excellent. It's about programming in general, but uses Python to demonstrate. There's also a new book coming out shortly that will probably benefit you: "Head First Python". Again, it's unconventional, but thoroughly enjoyable and informative. Disclaimer: I tech reviewed all 3 of these books. I don't get any more $ for you buying them, though. Another great read is the Python Cookbook. You can find the recipes online, also, but sometimes it's good to just sit with a hard copy of the book. The cookbook will walk you through tons of code examples, which is really helpful when you're learning a new language (or any language for the first time).
