Have you tried showing him the Cookbook, the printed version?

That book induces lightbulbs over peoples' heads faster than any other
Python resource I can think of. It's especially cool because it lets
people learn "pydiomatic" approaches to problem domains they are
especially interested in, without going through a lot of "this is a
loop, this is a class" material.

For example, If he's interested in XML, the XML chapter is excellent
for demonstrating the power of Python's libraries and object
oriented features.
