I’ll put this another way: All I know is that a programming language is
a medium for a human to tell a computer what to do.

 After that I’m kinda lost. I was just hoping to get some input as to
where I might start.

I'd start with Guido van Rossum
http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/pytut/ for a gentle introduction.
Then I'd follow up with http://swaroopch.com
http://www.diveintopython3.net/ by Mark Pilgrim and
Learning to program by Alan Gauld
http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/

Welcome and good luck,
