What book wouls you guys recommend for learning python? I have a lot of experience with programming, including C and perl, but very little experience with object oriented programming such as Java or C++.
For perl I used a combination of Learning Perl and Programming Perl (the latter is hard to learn from, and the former does not have enough detail, so I needed both).
Maybe the same would be true with python, and in that case you should read Learning Python and Programming Python ;-) Since I am a beginner, I have started with Learning Python, but it might be too slow for you. One book that I have heard positive noises about is "Python Essential Reference", by David Beazley. It is for the most part "A concise reference for language and library". It also has a very quick intro to the language.
