These are exactly the issues that my web tutor tries to 
address.

Its express aim is to get a beginner up to the point 
where they could understand the official Python tutor
(or the Javascript one, or Perl or Tcl etc...) 

Its about programming not python per se, it uses Python 
as an example language but focuses on the concepts.

I'm currently turning it into a book (with some new 
material and other languages).
