Can anyone recommend a general purpose reference for Python. My local public library has only a few books for Python, but Amazon has so many that I don't have a clue which ones would be worth having. At the very least I need a list of all the Python functions and what they do. I also need a good guide for explaining concepts such as objects and methods and the like.

I'm starting with a beginner's how-to video on Youtube, but I'm having trouble with some of the terminology since I keep remembering BASIC. In BASIC print is a programming statement, but I gather that in Python it is considered a function. So, is anything in Python considered a statement?
