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

[Dan Linder]

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.
