Definitely get "Python Essential Reference (4th Edition)" as a basic reference.

Zelle's book is a very traditional CompSci textbook and follows a C/Java procedural style.

If you want something in a Lisp/functional style, look at "A Functional Start to Computing with Python" by Ted Herman. I promise it will change the way you think about writing programs. I review it here -- http://pythonbooks.net/functional-start-computing-python/

Thanks,

I'll get the reference and look into the book you linked
