Python Book for a C Programmer?

[hsaziz]

I am trying to join an online class that uses python. I need to brush up on the language quickly. Is there a good book or resource that covers it well but does not have to explain what an if..then..else statement is?

Thanks.

First thing to check first is whether the online course uses Python 2 or
Python 3. For Python 2, try starting at docs.python.org. There you will
find library documentation, language specifications and also tutorials.

My opinion: Martelli's "Python in a Nutshell" is the K&R of Python.

Alas, it does discuss if statements, but it doesn't slap you silly with them.
