Read the online 'tutorial'.  After that you have many choices:
    - Learning Python
    - Quick Python Book
    - etc.
I have printout of all online docs, except 'library'.  But, I still
prefer and recommend a bound book.  I refer to 'language' and 'library'
references only when I have syntax or library problems.
