Here are some learning resources I've found useful as well

*Code Academy: *http://www.codecademy.com/en/tracks/python

Great beginner course, no prior experience necessary. Work at your own
pace, takes approximately 13 hours to complete.



*Google’s Python Class  *https://developers.google.com/edu/python/



Coursera.org also has some Python classes.
