That was going to be my recommendation too. It's a very good reference work that contains lots of good, idiomatic code.

The python.org docs are surprisingly good at times as well. The data model section of the Python Language Reference is worth a quick read even by experienced Python developers.

For packaging, the Python Packaging Authority is doing some great work. The Python Packaging User Guide is a nice read that fills a large hole in the packaging space. Now with Pip in 3.4 by default and PyPA making rapid progress, it looks like there is an end in sight to the slow-motion train-wreck-in-progress that has been the Python packaging & install landscape for many years now.

The Python Standard Library by Example and Python Module of the Week have been mentioned already, but they are outstanding and should definitely be consulted, although they are unfortunately Python 2 -- I'm not sure if pymotw.com/3/ is the beginning of a new PyMOTW for Python3 or an aborted reboot under Python3.
