Quick and simple introduction into Python. I've been writing a tiny bit of this stuff lately, but this was a great overview of the general concepts.

This would even make a great introduction to programming to first time programmers since each page is split vertically into code and explanation. Explains basic programming concepts and even Object Oriented Programming.

Good book. I like how it gives examples. But not as real-world as I would have preferred (vs. their PHP/MySQL book, for example). Oh well.

Direct and to the point, not full of blather.

Strictly for reference, don't expect any exercises in long examples.
