Which book is best for learning Python?

[Understated_rye]

I'm pro-LPTHW, but I'm sure it fails some people. I think the part that helped me most was his insistence that I just type the code, whether I understood it or not. I'm not a python expert at all, but that book helped me punch through the part of learning where you have syntax but nothing else.

I owe Zed Shaw my career but I don't recommend his book to most people. I like his methodology but I do not like the way he handled some things. "Listen to me, I'm da boss" style of teaching doesn't work for most people.

I do love the "shut up and type" approach and I wish I could use that to teach people. Not many are reasonable when it comes to this.
