Different places.  Some people work best with printed
documentation, others like reading on-line, in any of
several different formats.

What I suspect will interest you most are Python's
interactive introspective capabilities.  Make sure
you've read <URL: http://www.python.org/doc/Newbies.html >.
Learn about dir (references to follow--I'm on my way out)
and docstring, and, most crucially, the habit of working
in (one of) the Python interactive shell(s).
