"Learning Python" (Lutz/Ascher) has a good discussion of the basics.

Unfortunately, most of the OOP writings I've read fall into two
catagories:  Trivial examples where you say, "But why Bother??" and
examples that you don't understand until you've some OO design under
your belt and can understand what it's all good for.

Objects are, at the end of the day, data and the accompanying methods.
Once you've read the various tutorials take a stab at converting a
problem you know well into objects.

You'll get it wrong at first.  Most everyone does.  Don't sweat it.
Eventually, you'll just "get" it.
