Python is a scripting language written by Guido van Rossom.
The name actually refers to Monty Python, the charmingly irreverent and absurdist comedy troupe, as opposed to venomous snake.
General

Learning Python
- The "official" course textbook
- A nice quick intro to programming with Python as the specific language.
- Another good, free, resource
- Interesting discussion about the merits of Python as a learning language, and the "gender gap" in programming
- A Python "Cheat Sheet" -- hmmm, might it not be a good project to be able to generate your own "cheat sheets"?
Useful Add-ons (Libraries)
- PythonImageLibrary (PIL)
- feedparser
Applications that use/support Python plugins/extensions
- GIMP has GIMP-python to allow python plugins
- Inkscape
- Blender has an embedded Python interpreter
