If you're already a seasoned developer, nothing beats the official 
Python docs (http://python.org/doc/). I find most books to be filled 
with unnecessary narratives. The Python documentation is relatively 
terse and very well organized. As such, it'll get you off to the races 
in no time.

One of the many beautiful things about Python is the interactive help:

$python
 >>> import re
 >>> help(re)

You may also want to take a read through this:

$python
 >>> import this
