One thing I wonder about is the examples these books use to teach the concepts. I found myself really attached to K&R because the end of section projects were utilities that I would find be able to find useful in day to day work such as a version of wc and a program that would take collapse all consecutive whitespace in a document into one space. I could just use the projects from K&R, but I imagine a Python book would have a better selection that highlight Python's abilities.
On another note, I would prefer to have a paper book so I don't have to keep switching back and forth between documents on my computer. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
