Unless you speak German, I think Alan Gaulds book is
the one which is most aimed at beginners. Alan also
has a web site here:

Another book that doesn't assume prior programming
skills, but seems a bit more academic, is available here:

Since Python is a easier to learn and work with than most other
languages, I think you will learn fairly much from any good
python book or tutorial, compared with the resources for other
languages, but there is always more to learn...so it's all a
matter of what you think is advanced.
