I tried to read Dive into Python; it was boring.
Firstly, there's the official Python tutorial, which I've only glanced over. Swaroop C H's "A Byte of Python" was the (e)book I read to learn programming. It's incredibly simple, which is why it's fantastic. For a more comprehensive tour of Python, I like Mark Lutz's books. I'm sure there are other great books, but that's all I've read on Python so far. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
