Yeah, I didn't like it either.  I found the Python Cookbook and the 
Python Standard Library book by effbot to be a lot more useful.  They're 
a bit out of date now though, since a lot of python code uses some of 
the nifty new features like generators, comprehensions and decorators.

The tutorial on the python site is actually excellent and well worth 
working through, and Dive Into Python is very well regarded in the 
community:

Cheers,

Doug.
