The pages of "Instant Python" (http://www.idi.ntnu.no/~mlh/python/instant.html)
are really great.  It teaches the language in a few hours.
It touches upon data structures, flow controls, functions, classes, objects,
files, exceptions, modules and more, all with readable and do-as-you-learn
examples. 

After that the online tutorial on www.python.org makes a lot sense.

After that you might go for the online module library reference.
...

Enjoy!
