I happened upon this column a few days ago, whic I found a good read to 
explain the basic idea, for non-FPers like me:

http://www.defmacro.org/ramblings/fp.html

Also, while trying to re-find the above URL, I found Simon Thompson's
"Type Theory and Functional Programming," which looks like an interesting
378-page read and can be found online at
http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/sjt/TTFP/

Neither of these is particularly directed to Python, though.
