[Tutor] Need to start learning again

[Fred @ Mac]

I started learning python, but then life got busy...  I need some help  
finding good resources to start learning again.

My main need for python at first would be to write small programs to  
perform system commands.  Like moving files around, copying or  
deleting files, and perhaps some simple interface construction so I  
can create a window to show the status of the little programs i plan  
to write.

Any help would be appreciated.
