If you have net access and are learning your first programming language, I'd say head on over to one of the free web python courses that include an online interpreter. It sorts out a great deal of the 'incompatible version' problems people have with offline tutorials. I'm not sure what the policy is in regards linking to one so I'll just say Google one.  

Once you've found your feet, I do hear good things about 'learn python the hard way' but I've not read it myself. 

Generally once you've covered the foundations and understand the terms, Python.org's docs are very good.
