Sorry for the late response, I completely forgot about this post! Looks like you're on the right track though, "Think Stats" and Udacity's stats class were the main things I was going to recommend. I'd also recommend checking out IPython's web notebook for inline charts and general awesomeness, and the Pandas library for an R-style data frame built on top of NumPy. The best resources for learning about IPython are probably screencasts, and the author of Pandas has a book out named "Python for Data Analysis" that covers IPython, NumPy, Pandas and some matplotlib.
