Django and Pylons will both introduce you to a lot of advanced concepts that I would imagine to be very confusing to someone not familiar with programming. I'd recommend you first learn Python more fully before you start working with a framework. In fact, at this point I would recommend practicing with traditional desktop scripts as opposed to anything on the web, but using CGI may actually be a better choice in getting you down the path you want to go faster.
