I've only read a couple of Python books so I can't claim it's the best, but I really liked Think Python by Allen B Downey. It's available for £30 on Amazon UK, and also available for free as an ebook here:

It might even work better as an ebook since he includes links to solutions, but if you want a physical copy I think it's still decent value at £30.
