Whats the best book to learn Python?

I'm trying to fully master python, I've used Dive into Python and Python Bible. What other material should i be looking at?
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

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.

This is definitely the most popular book to use for learning Python.

http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Python-3rd-Mark-Lutz/dp/0596513984/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1229525935&sr=8-1

You can download a pdf version of this book using bittorrent here:

Best of luck!

Dive into Python offers an excellent introduction for the experienced programmer.

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.

Nothing. Go practice and come back searching after you've made some basic projects.

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.
