Well, 2.7 only has 31 keywords most of which are easily understood[1], 
as is the enforced indentation structure.  Also, pipes and interprocess 
communications aren't usually CS101 level classes.  The libraries are 
where things get interesting and where you should focus your attention.

https://docs.python.org/2/library/ is the official docs, but effbot's 
guide, while old, is not entirely obsolete and still provides a nice 
overview of things.  See http://effbot.org/zone/librarybook-index.htm
