I own this book. The 5th edition covers both Python 3.3 and 2.7. Its emphasis is slanted to 3.3, but it *thoroughly* covers the core language for both. As far as the OP's original question, if he is comfortable with programming in other languages, then this book can serve him well if he wants to know all the details of the language. The author does use a tutorial approach, but it is a massive text that tries to cover everything in the core language with selected examination of parts of the standard library.
