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?

I've read none of those, so for first-hand knowledge you might want to ping the Python User Group for their thoughts (if you haven't already).
