There is a lot of information about design patterns avalible online, you
will get numerous hits on google.

One site wich seems to have alot of general and background information is
http://www.enteract.com/~bradapp/docs/patterns-intro.html

If you want to se actual implementations of design patterns in pyton you
might want to have a look at "Design Patterns in Python"
http://www.python.org/workshops/1997-10/proceedings/savikko.html

Tough my personal opinion is that designpatterns are not the best aproach to
learn OO. Designpatterns are a part of OO tough not an essential part.

I think that you will be better of by creating some small OO programs before
you jump on to designpatterns, wich I sometimes find fairly hard to grasp.

Good luck
