I'm no authority on the subject but Django seems like the big player when it comes to Python. I also believe they've got a free book walking you through it, but again I have no clues beyond that.

There is also some stuff at the end of www.learnpythonthehardway.org focusing on web dev but it doesn't use Django.

Also, I imagine what ever text editor you used for other things, e.g TextMate or Emacs, could work well here too. I think maybe Eclipse will do plugin because, after all, there's usually a plugin for everything with Eclipse.

P.S keep me posted on how you get on :)

thank you jwdunne. what are some books that can do web dev with python.

for example with asp.net,working with vs .net simplifies things,html is separated with codebehind(c#)

The Django Book

http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter01/

From the intro:

If you don’t have experience programming in Python, you’re in for a treat. It’s easy to learn and a joy to use! Although this book doesn’t include a full Python tutorial, it highlights Python features and functionality where appropriate, particularly when code doesn’t immediately make sense. Still, we recommend you read the official Python tutorial, available online at http://docs.python.org/tut/. We also recommend Mark Pilgrim’s free book Dive Into Python, available at http://www.diveintopython.org/.

I really recommend just reading the Django docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/

They are truly magnificent.

OKi thank you
