What are the good books for physics and python?

What would be the good books on how to use Python (or any other language other than MatLab) and its capabilities on numerical physics?

Here's one with good reviews:

and with some sample chapters and code:

Thank you! Can there be book about the capabilities of Python (with exercises)? I'm still a novice in programming, and I'm not really familiar with some technical terms.

The Processing IDE has a Python mode which comes with quite a few python examples that show how to do interactive graphics.

There is also a python distribution that gives you a sophisticated numerical python environment.
