You've already received a lot of suggestions, but I'll add one more...

If you don't mind shelling out for some dead-tree documentation, there is a book in the "Sam's 
Teach Yourself in 24 Hours" series -- Python Programming for Raspberry Pi.

It is a pretty good basic tutorial for Python in general, and specifically written for the RPi. 
  You might check it out.  (Current Amazon price -- $25.81)
