I started learning python about 12 years ago, and it's always been around in my life. I went to University of Texas at Austin and we had a professor there who teaches python to all the undergraduates as the intro to programming course, 303E.

I suggest going through these assignments and other tutorials. It won't take too much time maybe a week? After that you can take the data structures version, 313E.

It's easier if you have a buddy to work with you or some help on the assignments but you learn a lot about how to set up objects and data. I think in my projects years later I still use a couple of these paradigms to do little tricks here and there.
