The best language there is, modern, simple yet powerful, versatile, scalable and equally robust. I urge all you CS fanatics to learn it. The best resource for it at the official site http://www.python.org, contains the source, APIs, documentations and other references. Lastly, if you go to a university in the US, your library may be a member of the Netlibrary. Netlibrary provides books in electronic form for checkout. You can be a member there by going to your library and just logging on to the site http://www.netlibrary.org. You'll be able to find valuable resources for python there.

I did some projects on python and Tcl/Tk. But I find Tcl/Tk is better than Python.

Powerful, almost, better, I dont know.
Tcl/Tk has few advantages as to being powerful than python for a single reason. Its been a player for a long time. As a matter of fact, they are considered to be the grand daddy of script languages. Meanwhile, python is the product of the last decade or so. Not to be mistaken that its not powerful than Tcl/Tk, because of the speed of the development going on. The positive point about Python which compels me to be a python's fan is the simplicity of the syntax, you can manipulate commands as if it were a command line interface. It is versatile in the sense that it can act as a shell interface and also a system program much like PHP, which is another popular language. The program is fully object oriented like java and community developed. Many APIs have been imported like C, C++, Java and even MySql. In the meantime, the language has been fostering out on its own.
So, I feel if one were to learn python reasonably well, he could get the advantages of pretty much everything.
