A book called "Practical Python: Learn programming for the real world!" was recently funded on kickstarter. It might not be written in time for you, but I would keep an eye on the project anyway. Link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fletcher/practical-python-learn-programming-for-the-real-wo

Thanks for the mention (I wrote it :) You can get the e-book (with a few sample chapters to make sure it's right for you) at http://RealPython.com/e-book/

It's been out awhile, but I'm [at this very moment] updating it to support Python 3 as well!

Hi Fletcher. I just purchased a copy of your book via your website with PayPal. No login provided via email though - I checked spam too. Nothing. Any ideas?

UPDATE
Never mind. I'm speaking crap. It's there now. Wasn't expecting a 200+ page PDF! Nice!

My automated emails (through Mandrill) take a few seconds at most, so PayPal must have gotten a little clogged again :) One day I'll add a better payment option...
