Tim's response is spot-on. Avoid the 'boring' parts in which Python
resembles C++, Java. Concentrate on the differences, the interesting parts.

Also, I've been making some pages about Python targeted for programmers
that already know Java: http://www.razorvine.net/python/PythonForJavaProgrammers

Though it's nowhere near complete you might find some interesting
pointers there?


Good luck!
