You could join the local Triangle Zope/Python User Group 
(http://www.trizpug.org/) and ask the other members for their favorite books.  
We have an active group, and you might want to come out and hang out with 
some other Python users.  :)

It kind of depends on what style of intro to a language you like.  A lot of 
people seem to like Dive into Python.  There's an online tutorial if you just 
want to get a quick overview of basic syntax.  I liked O'Reilly's Learning 
Python; it wasn't terrific, but it wasn't bad.
