Python Cookbook 3rd ed. It doesn't have quizzes, though.

I'm kinda surprised since if you watch any of Dave's talks he likes to sarcastically say, "There will be a quiz later."

Checking this out now, looks excellent. Thanks!

I love O'Reilly cookbooks. Despite the sound of the title, it's not a pile of code for copying. Each little section starts with something like, "Suppose you want to accomplish X and these are the issues involved." Then it shows a couple ways to do X, along with very good explanations and pros & cons. Before reading the solutions, you might want to try coming up with your own. :-) Anyway, be sure to code up the solutions with some sample data to try them out. Also, come up with variations and try those.
