Disregarding one semester of Pascal in the early 1980's, Python is my
first programming/scripting language.  I'm still a newbie; but that's
because I don't code often.  In healthcare, not "coding" is a good
thing.   ;-)

I learned Python basics from "Learning Python" by Mark Lutz & David
Ascher.  I think a new edition was released recently.  I also found the
examples in "Practical Python" by Magnus Lie Hetland to be very useful. 
Remember that this advice is coming from a newbie.
