The Lutz book is an excellent and VERY thorough Python reference, but it is not very good as a 
beginner's tutorial.  The standard Python.org tutorial can be a better starting point.  Of 
course, there are a lot of other good sources as well -- both on-line and dead-tree versions. 
Try some googling.  Also the Python Wiki has a lot of valuable links:
