Mark Lutz is the author of several Python books, the first of which to 
read is Learning Python.  It's one of several books with pink covers 
published by O'Reilly.  Others include books about classic shell 
scripting and the bash shell, which are useful because in practice there 
is much interaction between the shell and python. Before too long you 
may find O'Reilly cookbooks for Python and bash useful as well.  They're 
good references to have handy in addition to much other material readily 
available as documentation and various videos.  MIT OpenCourseWare has 
lots of introductory python and computer science instruction using 
python online for extended viewing.
