Recommend A Python Book To Me!

Hello Dear Viewer,
I already know HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, SQL & C/C++ (I am not a master in neither but have competitive knowledge in each of them!). So learning Python won't be a pain but really I have learned all those from "lynda.com" & in 2-3 days I am starting there "Python" tutorials as well but believe me I want to be a master in Python :) ! So I will become a intermediate of Python soon but I want to be a master I wanna be enough able to write a program that comes in my mind easily & hence videos not gonna help me much, I wanna read books that can help me!

Sorry for poor English, my creative writing is sick! :x

Thanks & Best Regards,
Xeeshan Rahat.

I have this book called "Gray Hat Python - Python Programming for Hackers and Reverse Engineers (2009)" that I have yet to read. Looked promising if not horribly advanced.
Considering the other languages you already know it might be an interesting read to play with several languages at the same time and get a better understanding of all of them.
(side note, I don't python)

Violent Python is like a more up to date/less focused on the authors own work/ generally awesome book on using python to create tools for a varity of jobs.

par example - A multi threaded hash bruteforcer, a few auto forensics tools for beating down windows registries and some appsec tools stuff.

Grey Hat Python is pretty good. I just recently read it.

Violent Python is more comprehensive (much more) but its assumed knowledge level is a bit higher than GHP. if you're comfortable already with basic syntax and flow of programming languages Violent Python is the way to go.

I'd read them both tho.
