I am using Learning Python by Lutz and Ascher from O'Reilly. So far (through
ch 7) I really like it and have found it easy to understand. I also suggest
buying the Python Pocket Reference from O'Reilly; it's quite handy IMHO.
Mark Lutz also wrote a book called Programming Python, I have heard good
things about it, but don't have it myself as it's possibly dated (1996).

btw: I managed to rewrite a file formatting program I was having trouble
with in C++ the day I bought the book. gl :)
