Leonardo,

There are several good online tutorials available, many listed here:  
http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide

There is also the Python Tutorial written by the creator of Python 
here:  http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/index.html

If you want a hands on approach with exercises, try Learn Python the 
Hard Way:  http://learnpythonthehardway.org/

If you already have a background in programming I find Dive Into Python 
to be an excellent introduction: http://www.diveintopython.net/ as well 
as Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: 
http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/html/

If you want something you can hold in your hand and has paper pages, I 
can recommend Learning Python by Mark Lutz: 
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596158071.do followed by The Python 
Cookbook, by Alex Martelli and David Ascher: 
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596001674.do

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology uses Python to teach their 
introduction to programming course which is available online (free) 
here: 
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-00sc-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-spring-2011/index.htm

I hope that helps.

Sincerely,
e.
