Teach Yourself Python

I originally became interested in Python via Google folks public communications, after that I kept reading about it in many "Systems Oriented" blogs. Long story short I decided to learn Python and in agreement with my autodidactic nature I started the free resource hunting while puting my google-fu to work, here's what I found.

For the non-programmer  type:

MIT intro to Computer Science taught on Python

Beginners Guide from Python official website

For the programmer type:

Beginners Guide from Python official website

From the official python website beginners guide list for programmers there are 2 resources in particular that I'd recommend although I didn't look at all of them.

WikiBooks Python Programming because of the detailed examples

and

Google Python's Class because of the video lectures and the very structured content organization.

I feel so 1337 now that I can

print 'hello world'

in Python!
