Mark Lutz has announced that he is working on a second edition of Learning Python. The first edition of Learning Python is probably the best learn-programming-language-X title I have ever read. It's nice and short, but covers the whole core Python language comprehensively with excellent examples and a well targetted learning curve. I've lent my copy to several people, all of whom found it very helpful and one of whom went on to buy a copy themselves. I'll probably be buying a copy of the second edition just so I can use it on my constant mission to get more people on my course to give Python a go.
