There are lots of resources out there for learning Python.

You didn't mention if you have programming experience in other languages.

I've heard a number of good things about the book,

    "Hello World! Computer Programming for Kids and Other Beginners",

    http://www.amazon.com/Hello-World-Computer-Programming-Beginners/dp/1933988495

    It's a python specific intro to programming.

There are also free video resources such as this Google Python class which was
developed by a Stanford professor:

    "Welcome to Google's Python Class -- this is a free class for people with a little bit of
     programming experience who want to learn Python. The class includes written materials,
     lecture videos, and lots of code exercises to practice Python coding."
