Hey Jason,
Best thing to do is download the development tools, compiler, etc. and then Google "python tutorials".
You will find a TON of stuff that will walk you through the coding of simple projects, which will build up your knowledge of the language.
If you are new to programming in general, then you may want to look at search results for "symbolic logic" or "programming logic" which will get you on your way to understanding the way you need to think when teaching a computer to do your bidding.
HTH,
Chris
