What is the best Python book?
I have been downloading programs for Linux and I have found something out. A lot of GUI apps such as AWN and Screenlets use Python as the default programming language to make new applets/screenlets. I wanted to learn how to do this as I am relatively new to programing. I was wondering what the best Python books were, for both newbies and experts/advanced programmers.
Thx all.

SHEDSKIN(1) SHEDSKIN(1)
NAME
Shedskin - An experimental (restricted) Python-to-C++ Compiler
SYNOPSIS
shedskin [OPTION]... FILE
DESCRIPTION
Shed Skin is an experimental compiler, that can translate pure, but implicitly statically typed Python (2.4-2.6) programs into optimized
C++. It can generate stand-alone programs or extension modules that can be imported and used in larger Python programs.
Besides the typing restriction, programs cannot freely use the Python standard library (although about 25 common modules, such as random
and re, are currently supported). Also, not all Python features, such as nested functions and variable numbers of arguments, are supported.
OPTIONS
-a --ann Output annotated source code (.ss.py)
-b --nobounds Disable bounds checking
-e --extmod Generate extension module
-f --flags Provide alternate Makefile flags
-l --long Use long long integers
-m --makefile Specify alternate Makefile name
-n --silent Silent mode, only show warnings
-o --noassert Disable assert statements
-r --random Use fast random number generator (rand())
-s --strhash Use fast string hashing algorithm (murmur)
-w --nowrap Disable wrap-around checking
-x --traceback Print traceback for uncaught exceptions
-L --lib Add a library directory
