Not sure how beginner you want to go, but is the tutorial that comes
with the standard python documentation too advanced?

    http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/tut.html

If so here are a few other beginner ones from my small collection of
links at http://www.vex.net/~x/parnassus/apyllo.py/935043691.636055170

Learning to Program:

Non-Programmer's Tutorial:
    http://www.honors.montana.edu/~jjc/easytut/easytut/

Instant Hacking:
    http://www.idi.ntnu.no/~mlh/python/programming.html

There's also a whole whack of tutorals listed on python.org
here: http://www.python.org/doc/Hints.html

Good luck!
