'Learning Python' by Lutz & Ascher is a gentle introduction (very much the Python equivalent of Schwartz and Christiansen's 'Learning Perl'), but is sadly out of date. On the other hand Alex Martelli's 'Python in a Nutshell' (see http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pythonian/) is certainly worth buying and having, and, if you have some experience in programming, is also a good (if terse) introduction. Check out the free sample chapter and make up your own mind.
