Two excellent books match your criteria: Dive Into Python (review: http://www.techbookreport.com/tbr0103.html) - also available as a free download. Learning Python (review: http://www.techbookreport.com/tbr0064.html) Both are recommended for beginners but have a reasonable level of depth. They're clear, enthusiastic and well-written.
