Whats the best book to learn Python?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

M$I found it useful to read through these (O'Reilly) books to help you learn how to "think in Python" and do things the "Pythonic" way:
Python in a Nutshell
Learning Python
For desk reference, I like to keep these handy in my office:
Python Programming - "The Bible"
Python Pocket Reference
Of course, your main reference will be repeated visits to python.org for more detailed information on the variable modules in the standard library.

M$I'm looking for other material. As i stated, I've used the above books, even working on a project in twisted. All i'm asking is if theres anything that anyone would regard as something that helped them when they started out. I'm sure nothing can't be one of them.
The biggest mistake that a beginner makes is working only halfway into a project. Even only one is not enough. Go practice more, after reading those books you know more than enough.
