I have yet to find a language/community with better online
documentation. I taught myself with the Python tutorial found at
http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html. I would look there first. If you
are new to programming altogether I think Python may still be a good
choice, but that may not be the _best_ reference.

You don't provide much info about where you are in your learning cycle.
New to programming? New to Python? Both?

If you do use the Tutorial, use the newest version:

That did the trick for me. It is, however, "a Python book for
experienced programmers" (quoted from website). Not too tough, but if
you have no clue of programming at all, maybe have a look at

http://ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCS/python.php
It called "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist" (the title sounds
dryer than the book really is, trust me). Very good as well.

You need look no further than Python's own web site.

<URL:http://www.python.org/doc/>

Of course, you *can* look further if you want to -- and eventually
you'll want to. But start at the source.
