Title: I'm in need of a book recommendation for learning Python (not learning <i>programming</i>, just adding this language to my repertoire).<p>My learning method is more "start coding something, and refer to a reference book frequently" than "do these lessons and you'll eventually learn enough to start coding something you actually care about".  A good <i>reference</i> is dense and to the point; it makes it quick and easy to look up both the syntax of individual features, and the thinking behind them.<p>Basically, my ideal programming book is Kernighan and Ritchie's "The C Programming Language" -- I want that, but for Python.
