As others already pointed, Python is not dedicated to web programming - 
it's a general-purpose language. Also, there are a lot of different ways 
to use Python for web programming, ranging from plain old CGI to 
full-blown application servers. But most of them won't make sens if you 
don't have a minimal knowledge of both the language and the HTTP 
protocol (which is something that most PHP programmers seems to totally 
ignore).

Anyway... I suggest you start by learning Python itself - there's a 
not-too-bad tutorial in the official doc. FWIW, one of the nice things 
with Python is the interactive shell, which let you test code directly. 
Once you'll be done with this, you may either give CGI a try (if you 
don't have much knowledge of the HTTP protocol, it may help you 
understanding what's really going on there), or try some recent web 
framework like Django or Pylons (the first one is a bit more polished 
and better documented, and it seems very popular amongst non-python 
programmers, the second is IMHO far better but probably requires much 
more knowledge of both Python and HTTP).

My 2 cents...

NB : a bit OT, but anyway: while broken English is mostly ok here (there 
are a lot of non native English speakers around - like me), at least 
avoid sms-style.
