O'Reilly's 'Learning Python' is the beginner's book, 'Programming Python' assumes some knowledge and can get a bit heavy.  These are to the usual O'Reilly standard.  There is also a 'Nutshell' book, but I don't know that one.

Python is great if you are an OO/Java person, otherwise you might look at Perl/Tk, with its large number of add-ons.
