I'd like to learn Python

[David Lees]

Actually, Dive Into Python is probably not appropriate for a neophyte,
though it is certainly free and excellent.  The second line after the
title is: ""Python for experienced programmers".  You should take a look
at the links at http://www.python.org/doc/Newbies.html and choose the
ones you find appropriate.
