This is kind of interesting: http://www.pythonchallenge.com/

I started out with python doing project euler (http://projecteuler.net/) though that really won't give you that good of a background in python for the web and I mostly learned by going through the tutorial on the python website and going through the docs.

If you want a book I think apress begginning python is among the more recommended books after you have started out, and for the sake of time and your wallet avoid oreily's python books as they are about 700 pages over length.

You might want to give the Python Essential Reference a try instead as it is quite a good reference and something like the first 6 chapters are a nice quick tutorial, though it probably is more high level than you want (probably read it in a store first).

The django book (http://www.djangobook.com/) is available for free and is good for learning the internals though it can be a bit dry and there a some screencasts for django around if you look.

Hopefully that helps.

Project Euler got hard for me really quickly. Thanks for tips.
