While I agree that there is much useful content on the official Python 
site, I particularly hate the BeginnersGuide and much of the resulting 
introduction pages. Often when I happily refer Python to someone who 
wants to learn a simple language, I go to the Python site and imagine 
where I would start if I were them. Once I get to the BeginnersGuide I 
don't see anything immediately useful, and when I look for it I get 
frustrated.
