Python Help!

edited February 2009 in Help / Advice Forum
So I'm taking on an independent study that will have me doing some work in Python with latent semantic analysis and similar processes. I don't know Python yet, however, and need some good books to get my feet wet with the language, but also deals with some advanced topics.

2 different books is fine.

I'm by no means an expert at any language, but most recently been using C++, Java before that, and have used DrScheme and Perl back in the day.

    dive into python

    The site has been flaky lately.

    Python in a Nutshell is good too.

    I'm going to be reimbursed for any books I buy through work, so I figured I might as well actually get some books that I can keep handy. Anything else besides Python in a Nutshell?

    The Python Cookbook is good, too. Especially so if you mostly need to know stuff about the language specifically and already have experience with others.

    Wow, noticed a few python threads all on page 1. Oh well. Books bought, case closed.
