There are a number of resources mentioned in the Python course, I won't 
bother to copy them here, clicking on the link is probably just as easy 
for you.

http://www.linuxchix.org/content/courses/python/links.html

The course unfortunately didn't get very far, so there is not much else 
in it that is of use.

If you have questions as you learn either language you will find lots of 
people willing to help on the programming list, and probably here as well.
