As a beginner you would want something that both teaches you and challenges you to think on your toes. The first tutorial I took for Python was called "Learn Python the Hard Way." Don't let the name put you off it is an amazing tutorial and after it you will be a master of the basics of Python.
This is a link to the tutorial:
