short answer: start here:
http://www.python.org/Help.html

longer answer: start here
http://www.python.org/doc/Intros.html
and look under "introductions to python
for non-programmers"

after that, check the other intros mentioned
on that page, and the official tutorial, available
at:

http://www.python.org/doc

as for books, your best bets are O'Reilly's
"Learning Python" and Manning's "Quick Python".
neither is written for true beginners, so you might
wish to check them out in your local bookstore
before buying.

and yes, you should consider joining the
python-tutor list:
http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

hope this helps!
