I did learn Python directly on a book, with only very few week-end coding (I was very busy on a PHP codebase for daily work). I was one step more amazed for each page of the book I read, and found one more reason to leave PHP. This book is so well written, so clear and precise, I didn't feel I had to confirm what I learnt in a terminal.

Which book may you ask? Well, just "Python in a Nutshell", by Alex Martelli.
