I can recommend a few. First, a tutorial by Josh Cogliati.

  http://www.honors.montana.edu/~jjc/easytut/

Second, two short ducuments written by Magnus Lie Hetland; a tutorial
on Python and an introduction to programming. You can reach them through

  http://www.idi.ntnu.no/~mlh/python/

The site seems to be down at the moment, though.

Enjoy,
