[Tutor] New to Python

I also recommend the book "Dive Into Python" - it gets awesome reviews, and 
the book is under Creative Commons license, so it's free to download and 
distribute.

I also have the book "Core Python Programming" which is pretty good, and has a 
nice way of leaping right into code so that if you have any prior knowledge, 
you can use it to learn faster.
