Leonardo,
There are several good online tutorials available, many listed here:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide
There is also the Python Tutorial written by the creator of Python
here: http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/index.html
If you want a hands on approach with exercises, try Learn Python the
Hard Way: http://learnpythonthehardway.org/
If you already have a background in programming I find Dive Into Python
to be an excellent introduction: http://www.diveintopython.net/ as well
as Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist:
http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/html/
If you want something you can hold in your hand and has paper pages, I
can recommend Learning Python by Mark Lutz:
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596158071.do followed by The Python
Cookbook, by Alex Martelli and David Ascher:
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596001674.do
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology uses Python to teach their
introduction to programming course which is available online (free)
here:
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-00sc-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-spring-2011/index.htm
I hope that helps.
Sincerely,
e.
