Also have a look at http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english2e/ which is a bit less in depth but faster and also fun way to get started. I teach high school programming and although I do teach Visual Basic at the lower levels (grade 9/10) I use Python for my grade 11/12 students. It's an easy language to learn and has an incredible amount of functionality through importable libraries. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
