Sumit,
Here are some more ideas apart from the resources Pradeep Banavara
suggested.

These are some python-based Computer Science & Engineering courses you can
review:
Introduction to Computer Science and Programming [MIT, Boston]
#
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-00-
introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-fall-2008/
Learn to Program: The Fundamentals [Univ. of Toronto]
## https://www.coursera.org/course/programming1
An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python [Rice University,
Houston]
# https://www.coursera.org/course/interactivepython


You could also explore online programming courses:
# http://www.learnpython.org/
# http://www.learnstreet.com/lessons/languages/python


And these are a few discussions / resources you can choose to refer to. Lots
of people on the Internet with your exact same problem :)

I too am a newbie to Python, and I suspect a job will be hard to come by
unless one has something solid to show - like a GitHub repo with code for a
non-trivial application one has written from scratch. And/or one could take
a shot at problem sets and post the results on a blog (or GitHub repo).
Something like this:  http://wiki.python.org/moin/ProblemSets.

The point is that one's work should demonstrate interest in and
understanding of both, technical aspects and real-world skills. By
"technical aspects" I mean fundamentals of computation, python syntax etc.
and by real-world skills I mean familiarity with using DVCS, APIs,
third-party services etc... something on the lines of the skills this task
requires: http://www.helpshift.com/jobs/task/.

Having said that, you could also try to ask around for companies that offer
programming apprenticeships. As a beginner, I'm finding it useful to
cultivate the attitude and learning process of an apprentice. I've been
collecting some links on this subject, which you can refer to here:

Good luck!
Best,
Aditya
