Depends on what level you are at. 
Do you know Python but not ASP?
Do you know ASP but not Python?
Do you not know either of them?

If the first try any of the ASP tutorials on 
the web, there are many good ones. Next look 
at Mark Hammonds stuff on accessing COM from 
Python. 

If the second the official tutor that comes with 
python documentation is the best starting point.
If you know ASP in another language theres little 
new in using Python. The only other tweek you'll 
need to look for is the winall stuff needed to 
use ASP and how it accesses COM objects. The only 
other caveat I'd offer is wroite as much of the 
Python stuff in functions at the top of the file 
then the inline stuff will mostly be single line
code. Pythons indenting rules can get a bit messed 
up when used inline in ASP HTML.

If you kow neither learn Python first then ASP. 
Start at the newbies page on the Python web site.

Or even at my tutor :-)
