There are lots of resources out there for learning Python.<br>
<br>
You didn't mention if you have programming experience in other languages.<br>
<br>
I've heard a number of good things about the book,<br>
<br>
"Hello World! Computer Programming for Kids and Other Beginners",<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hello-World-Computer-Programming-Beginners/dp/1933988495" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Hello-World-Computer-Programming-Beginners/dp/1933988495</a><br>
<br>
It's a python specific intro to programming.<br>
<br>
There are also free video resources such as this Google Python class which was<br>
developed by a Stanford professor:<br>
<br>
"Welcome to Google's Python Class -- this is a free class for people with a little bit of<br>
programming experience who want to learn Python. The class includes written materials,<br>
lecture videos, and lots of code exercises to practice Python coding."<br>
