I think that two of the best books on Python programming are Python in a Nutshell and Programming Python.

Could you please be so kind as to point out books that would go over sample applications that would show me features in Python that would make me appreciate C++ Boost/Loki libraries? Awesome blog btw! I’m an experienced C++ developer looking to have my mind bent by Python.

What blew me away was how easy it was to set up a web server in a few-lines using Python's built-in library. No wonder Google is using Python. I completely agree.
