If you are happy writing basic shell/perl scripts then you can
probably jump straight into the official Python tutor. It
usually comes with Python or you can fillow it online. It only
takes a few hours to go through and gets an existing programmer
up to speed easily.

https://docs.python.org/3.4/tutorial/

If you are more of a beginner you can try the list of tutorials 
(including mine!) here:

https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers

They are all slightly different in flavour and you will probably
find one that is to your taste.

Most important make sure you match the tutorial version with
your Python version since there are several differences
between v2 and v3 that will catch you out otherwise.
