Learning Python alone

I'm thinking about learning Python with a book. Are there any recommended books or websites to learn Python with? Is it true that this the easiest language to learn?

I learned Python from a book called Dive Into Python.

It's a great book, lets you skim through at whatever speed you like, has practical examples, and is available free online.

It is important to know if you had any previous programming experience. If you do there is another good book:

Learning Python (second edition) 

It a relatively good book (and its the second edition) if you have some programming experience.

If you have no programming experience at all this book might be a bit too much.

In general Python is a very easy language to learn and use mainly due to the fact that it has a very small set of fixed things you need to remember in the syntax and everything else is built on top of that. It also comes with a large class library that lets you do almost anything you want (the battery included philosophy).

I don't know if its the easiest, but its for sure one of the easier programming languages one can learn.

Think New, Act Different

Smart, Since 1989

Can't say wheather it is the easiest, but many veterans reccomend it to beginners in programming. The books mentioned by others are nice. I wish to add one more thing to the study list.

Be active in a python related forum

Just watch the disscussion at #python in freenode.

Just to get the taste of it.
