I haven't looked at any of the following, but they are probably worth checking out:

A Gentle Introduction to Programming Using Python (MIT)

Google's Python Class (Google)

I've only done a few specific little scripting things with Python as part of larger projects, so I probably only know enough to get myself in trouble - but I do like what I've seen so far.
