Sometimes having someone sitting at your side helping you get acclimated
can be a big help.  I would expect your school would have some computer
oriented clubs or groups where you could find the expertise you're
looking for.  

A Linux User Group could be a good source of help, even if you are using
Windows since the percentage of Python users is generally higher among
Linux folks than in the Windows population.

For remote help, this list is hard to beat.
