In that case I'd start with the official tutorial on python.org.
Its targeted at people with a little bit of programming experience 
moving to Python.

It's also fairly *nix biased and relevant for sys admin type tasks.

OK, that's a good solid platform. Once you have done the tutorial try 
automating some of the tasks you don on a regular basis as a first project.

Once comfortable go to SourceForge and find something in Python you can 
contribute too. Testing and Bug fixing is often a good place to start.
