Read "Dive Into Python" while following along with your keyboard.

( http://www.diveintopython.org/ free online or paper edition from
your favourite bookseller )

My favourite mistake when I made the transition was calling methods
without parentheses.  In perl it is common to call methods without
parentheses - in python this does absolutely nothing!  pychecker does
warn about it though.

  perl   -> $object->method
  python -> object.method()
