I have a quick Python tutorial, at

http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/python.html 

Click on "Tutorial" to get it, and I also have some advanced tutorials
you can click to download too.

The other responses to your query mentioned concentrating on what makes
Python DIFFERENT from other languages.  I agree, and my tutorial takes
that approach.
