first book about python
I want to learn python. I plan to buy a book. I always find printed material more convenient than reading on-line tutorials. I don't know PERL or any other scripting language. I only know some BASH programming. I am looking for a book which will help me get started and should contain the foundations. I am not looking for the Python bible. Any recommendations?

Re: first book about python
I thank everybody for your replies. I think I'll get Hertland's book since it's newer than O'reillys. I don't want to become a programmer. Neither Python is part of my studies. I've finished with my studies. I want to become a Unix/Linux admin and knowledge of either Python or Perl is an asset. Do you think that this book is the right one for me?

Re: first book about python
I guess it's better to wait for the for dummies book. I should focus instead in taking the LPIC-2 exams in September. Ioannis -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
