I just recently (a month or so ago) watched and did the exercises in the Google Python Class. That was my first introduction to Python and I stayed interested because the exercises were a bit of a challenge instead of the same old boring crap you see everywhere.

About two weeks ago, I wrote a somewhat complex application to "scratch an itch" at work and have since started in with Django.

I'd recommend the Google class (it's on Youtube).
