When I learned Python (coming from a succession of other languages), I didn't bother with such tutorials, but just started hacking away. Meanwhile, I read a bunch of articles, not on how to write in Python, but on techniques for writing good Python code. I already knew enough about programming that I wasn't baffled by those articles (could always look things up), and they made the transition pretty easy. Now, for a language that was profoundly different (like going from BASIC to Haskell), I'd probably look for something more basic. ;)
