Let me know if there's anything I can help with. Python is my favorite language. It may take a bit to get used to.
Some thoughts:

If you are like me, significant whitespace will bug you to the core for about a week. Then you get used to it.

Use the interpreter to play and try code snippets.

Don't try to write C or Java code in Python.

The functional aspects are key. Learn to think functionally. Learn to think in terms of dictionaries and lists.

The Python newsgroup (comp.lang.python) is very helpful for newbies.

Free book, not too bad: http://www.diveintopython.org/

My best reference: "Python Essential Reference"

I'll see if I can dig up some other things for you.
