Dive into Python and Python the Hard Way are both really good books that are available online to read through. Python.org provides some good docs too along with a pretty decent tutorial. I assume since you're coming from PHP you're going to want to do some web stuff with it. Django has excellent docs and there's DjangoBook.com as well.
