I found the python.org tutorial quite good, but I also enjoyed Zed Shaw's "Learn Python the Hard Way": http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ The same person that did Django by Example also did one for Python: http://pbe.lightbird.net/ http://pbe.lightbird.net/ There are some NumPy tutorials online (and I seem to remember on Github too) which are worth tackling if that's the direction you're going in.
