The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

The book I would recommend is Beginning Python from Novice To Professional by Magnus Lie Hetland. I bought this recently and I think its really good. I tried reading the Python Cookbook but found it really boring and kept losing interest so I can't comment on whether its good or not.

I find O'Reilly's Nutshell books incredibly useful for language references. The last edition of Python in a Nutshell covers version 2.2, but it does look ahead a lot into the 2.4 versions. It's harder to actually learn a language for the first time from a Nutshell handbook, but they prove invaluable over the long term, after you're done learning the basics.
