Learning Python may be another good choice. But really, for just
starting out, nothing beats online documentation.

I don't have "Python in a Nutshell," but let me ask... do you have a strong
programming background in C++, Java, etc.? If so, you'll probably find
"Programming Python" a little too basic.
and recommend several books?
For those with prior programming experience, I'd recomment "Python: Essential
Reference."

"Python Pocket Reference" is worth having regardless of your background. A
similar document is the freely download quick reference here:

programming Python is quite good for experienced programmers who want
to learn Python.
It don't tutor on the Syntax, however, so it needs to be complemented
with an introduction
to the syntax. Guidos ebook Introduction to Python, (available with
the Python dist) helps here.

"What parody?"
