[Omaha.pm] Book suggestions for a Perl programmer wanting to learn Python?

[Dan Linder <dan@linder.org>]

For a project I'm deciding to branch out and force myself to do much of it in Python.  I'm well versed in Perl (functional and object oriented), anyone have any suggestions for a Python book to pick up that isn't going to spend the first 1/3 of the book describing what a variable is and other absolute beginner issues?

For what it's worth, I'm probably going to start with Python 2.7 and jump into 3 when I'm done with my project (many of the modules are 2.X only from what I understand).

Thanks!

Dan

P.S. I'm watching this guys Python tutorial videos.  Good video production value, and easy enough to follow along as long as you're quick with the pause button.
