Since this sounds like something for people with general computer
experience, can I suggest Mark Pilgrim's "Dive Into Python" as a text?
There's always Learning Python as well.
For those of you who have prior programming knowledge and want to
quickly get into Python, I highly recommend Python Essential Reference
by Beazly (he is also the author of SWIG). The 2nd Edition is what I
used, the tutorial part is fairly short and simple, the rest of the book
is reference.
I spotted a recently released 3rd edition in the bookstores, it is
significantly larger than the 2nd edition, and I'm not sure what was
added or if the 3rd ed. is as excellent as the 2nd.
