Unfortunately you wont find free e-Books better than these IMO (post them if you do find). If you are willing to buy, I suggest O'Reilly's Learning Python or Core Python Programming (both are based on version 2 though)
Python - Think like a Computer Scientist is slightly older though, I would like to remind.

if you have read diveintopython3 then the correct book for you is python's excellent documentation itself.

I know its a bit old thread. But still wanted to reply...

Well, if try and download ebooks through torrent you can get tonnes of (old as well as new) ebooks. But then that would amount to piracy i guess.

So all ur call. Happy reading!

OMG, its HUGE book. I won't even recommend it.
IMO, a simple language like Python doesn't require this much heavy book. ;)

Learning Python is one of the better books I've come across. Give books a short read before judging them by size. :-|
