I'm looking for a book that would teach me the lastest and greatest parts of Python, does anyone have any recommendations?

I've looked at python.org and pythonbooks.org but I couldn't decide which one to get.

I used to be fairly good at Python, but I haven't done any serious programming in the last 10 years or so. So I would like something that got me up-to-date with the latest features.

I don't need anything that would teach me OOP, functional programming, etc (unless there is a new feature). In other words I'm looking for something that concentrates language specific changes that has happened the last 10 years or so.
