1. Go to Google.
2. Type "learn python" into the search box.
3. Follow your nose.
Actually, I found the book "Dive into Python" to be a well-paced introduction to doing useful things with Python, but I was always using Google to find other examples and references.
If you have access to a local library then they may have some Python books you can borrow. I sometimes find that having a printed book to refer to is much better than flipping between different windows looking at stuff.
Finally, the best way to learn is to have a specific task in mind, then write a program for that task. It could be something trivial, or it could be to rewrite something you've already done in another language.
Have fun!
