What I must read to be python savvy?
inklesspen: http://diveintopython.org/ is a great book, though it hasn't been updated since Python 2.2. There's a revision currently being written for Python 3.0: http://diveintopython3.org/(I should note that since Python 3.0 made (necessary) backwards-incompatible changes to syntax, most large libraries and frameworks, such as Django, do not yet run on it.)
