It is absolutely, but the official Python tutorial assumes you have some
programming experience. There are several tutorials especially for complete
newbies, see

Alan Gauld's "Learning to Program using Python"
http://www.crosswinds.net/~agauld/

Josh Cogliati's "Non-programmers tutorial for Python"
http://www.honors.montana.edu/~jjc/easytut/easytut/

There's also
http://www.hetland.org/python/instant-hacking.php
and
http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy.html

But those two at least assume you have a Python interpreter installed and
know how to start it (that's explained in the first two).
