Yeah this tutorial is aimed at people that already know how to program.

It would still be a good idea though to go through the basic python tutorial 
at  http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html  

For someone already experienced in programming the basic tutorial will 
probably only take an hour or so and it is good to read it at least once. The 
other thing I highly recommend is reading  
http://docs.python.org/lib/lib.html  just to see what libraries python has 
and a basic idea of what they can do. I have seen a LOT of programmers come 
from languages like c++ and spend days and sometimes hundreds of lines of 
code implementing something that could be done with a single line of code 
from the standard library. :)  Just trying to save you from that problem.
