Refer to this as a reference:
http://docs.python.org/

It includes a tutorial and documentation on the functions and classes
in all the global modules, as well as builtin functions (http://
docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html) and syntax. If you have prior
experience with programming, you may be able to learn python from the
tutorial, but otherwise, I would highly recommend you get a good book
for beginners on python (http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonBooks);
there's plenty of them out there.
