    No it is one of the easier languages to work with. I am learning it myself now but I knew a few languages before it.

    From all I have watched of Bucky he is very good for beginners. Watching his videos and reading http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ should be enough to start at least.

    I am not using either but both come highly recommended. Make sure you practice doing as much as possible as much like organic natural languages and instruments you will not learn programming by being passive.

    http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide also looks good and if it is anything like Ruby documentation it will also be a great resource.

    I would also recommend Learn Python the Hard Way, I bought the epub version but found that I mostly read the html version via the website for free. Was defintely the biggest help as a newbie to Python.

    I've also heard good things about Nick Parlante's Google Python Class.

    And compared to learning C, I found learning Python quite easy and enoyable.

    Good luck!

    Yes, that is a great weekend class but I would leave this until after a simpler gentler intro to programming through a book or videos.
