I found this book to be a great tutorial:

Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner Second Edition.
Michael Dawson.
Boston, MA:Thompson Course Technology, 2006.
ISBN: 1598631128

Dawson uses games to teach Python. The examples are games,
so the book is a lot of fun to work through. Being fun, you'll learn
easier and faster than if the examples were boring academic examples.
Most of the games are text-based, but the last two chapters introduce
you to graphics, sound, music, and animation.

Happy Programming!
