hi notbob,
   Get a good book on python3 programming {Barnes and Noble, 
Amazon} and please, start with python (3).

   Great book:  & fabulous tutorial:

Summerfield, Mark. Programming in Python 3: A Complete Introduction to the Python Language.
Developer's Library. 2nd Edition. (Upper Saddle River: Addison-Wesley, 2010)

The book is 630 pages, illustrated, and explains everything with very 
clear insightful use cases, example coding, and exercises. It is also
not a bad reference, although there are better ones.  IMHO if you can
purchase just one book on python programming, this is it.

Also, don't forget that google is your friend. You will find the python
community very friendly (as compared to some groups) but folks can
be short if the questions show little or no research. There are great 
tutorials on-line for python too, and very good doc. 

Start here:  http://docs.python.org/3.3/tutorial/

Also Docs:  http://docs.python.org/3.3/#

Cheers
