I like Core Python Programming by Wesley Chun.

I like Dive into Python, feels more oriented towards CS people (so you can probably skip all the web stuff) but definitely written for people who already know how to program but don't know Python. Also available for free online:

Thanks Steve. Appreciate it.

I learned a lot from the book:

"Python for Data Analysis" by Wes McKinney

It might be too specific because it only describes the how to use Numpy and Pandas but I think you will find it very useful.

Well, Rajiv, there are lots of good Python books that will help you, as you are a mid-level programmer. Here are some book recommendations I would like to suggest:

1. Fluent Python by Luciano Ramalho
2. Effective Python by Brett Slatkin
3. Python Cookbook by David Beazley & Brian K. Jones
4. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Python by Kenneth Reitz & Tanya Schlusser
5. Beyond the Basic Stuff with Python by Al Sweigart
6. Python Tricks by Dan Bader
7. Serious Python by Julien Danjou

I hope it will help you
