'Learn to Program Using Python' by Alan Gauld[1] teaches programming and
uses Python as its language of choice. Note that I have never read this
book, but it sounds like what you're looking for. One I have read is
'Programming Python' by Mark Lutz[2]. Once you get a footing in Python, this
book will let you...take big strides? That was a lame analogy, but you know
what I mean. I really like this one.

Good luck,
greg
