Its impossible to learn to program without learning technical jargon, 
but there are tutorials that try to teach you that technical jargon 
before using it!

Using it 2collectively" is the hardest bit about programming in any 
language and there are very few resources that even attempt such a 
thing. Most take the approach of building ever increasingly complex 
programs so that you absorb the technique through use.

Tutorials are highly subjective but have you (the OP) looked at the 
non-programmers page on the Python web site? It lists several tutorials 
aimed at the complete beginner. Being biased I favour my one!
