You should have started with the official tutorial:

https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/


which doesn't get into classes until Chapter 9, after:

- using Python as a calculator;
- numbers, strings, unicode, lists;
- if, for, the range function;
- defining functions;
- stacks, queues;
- functional programming;
- list comprehensions;
- tuples, sets, dicts;
- modules;
- string formatting, reading and writing files, json; and
- exceptions

It's notable that *functional programming* is introduced before classes.
