Learning Python starts *very* basic so you might find it a bit if a slow starter but it does eventually cover more advanced topics in a comprehensive way. It also provides a nice general introduction to object orientated programming concepts. Plenty of exercises (& solutions!) as well. Programming python explores more "real world" applications, guiding the programmer through worked examples from many different areas (system programming, GUI programming, intarwebs...) but with less of the "basic" stuff.

In the setup line it should read setup(windows=['myprog.py']) rather than setup(console=['myprog.py']) Actually, for a windowed app you just need to change a variable in your setup.py for running py2exe.
