Python 2.4 is pretty old at this point. A lot has been added to the language since then, and Python 3 introduced a number of large, backward-incompatible changes. I don't have any specific book recommendations, but you should look for a book written for Python 3 if possible, since that is the future of Python. If not, then look for something that at least targets Python 2.6, which I would expect to include sections about coding with an eye toward Python 3 compatibility.
