If you expect to write several apps you should choose a Web Framework.
The two most poular are TurboGears and Django. Both have websites,
search Google...

To use either you will need a good knowledge of Python programming
in a non Web way, for that try the standard list of tutorials for 
either
non-programmers or programmers from another language.

Then you can read about the fundamentals of web programming
in the Web Topic Guide area of the Python web site

http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebProgramming

If you do go for a Web Framework you might also like the ShowMeDo
website which has short video tutorials showing how to set up and
create yur first web site. They definitely do Django and I think
they might do TG too.
