first, when you start do noth bother whether you work with python 2 or 3. At 
your level the difference is nil.
Then there is a very good book out there:

I would recommend you start working trough.

Then there is a very nice IDE, I would recommend: http://www.wingware.com/
It is not for free, but you can test it for 30 days. It takes LOTs of the pain 
out of the learning of a new language.

by the way, one of the nice things of python is, that you run it on windows and 
on linux.
So install wing and play with python on both systems ..
