I'm just putting the finishing touches on Hello Python (http://manning.com/briggs http://manning.com/briggs). It's not out in print yet, so I don't know whether it's what you're looking for, but you can get it on Manning's MEAP program. The basic theme of the book is that I replicate the path that most programmers follow when they learn how to program - start with something small and build up. I cover games and a couple of Python's more important tools, like Twisted, Pyglet and Django.
