Pete,
Not sure of your reasons to jump to 3.0, but if you google a bit there 
are tons of 2.x examples and tutorials that will equally get you started 
with Python. I would also recommend the book Beginning Python from 
Novice to Professionals by Magnus Lie Hetland which is primarily 2.x but 
does touch on changes to 3.0 as well.

Good Luck
Mark
