Hi All,
Background: I am a Linux SysAdmin with over 9 years experience. I have very basic Python knowledge. Have previously scripted in Bash.
I am looking to move away from what I do and into 100% Python programming.
Is there any one book/resource/learning-path you will recommend strongly to get me through the door to my first Python job interview? 
Many thanks!
Thank you. I've edited the question for clarity.
What I meant is that there are endless tutorials/books out there. But I am sure that often there is one or two books or tutorials that are really high quality and work the best for most people. Those are the ones I am after.

I don't know what works for most.
Building up practical experience is what I think works best.
There are plenty of free online Python resources (
including python books).
Just pick one and that feels not to difficult and start.
Focus:
0) Building up practical experience. (
always active, and crucial for (successful) Python job interviews)
1) Initial basic Python stuff.
2) Classes
3) (?) ... take your pick.
Optional search:
online free python book
(
"A-whirlwind-tour-of-python" seems like a nice Python crash course)
Cracking The Coding Interview is the canonical book on this topic. I have a copy and used it the last couple times I was looking for a job.
That said... I don't think you'll be limited as much by your interviewing skills as much as your experience. I strongly recommend you develop a strong Github profile with projects that you can show off and show that you can get stuff done.
