Understanding Python is very important to use the full power of Sage, because it is the interface and primary programming language. Here are some external resources:
- Non-Programmer's Tutorial for Python — from Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection, offspring of Wikipedia and probably the easiest introduction of all.
- Python Tutorial by Guido van Rossum — written by the father of Python
- Dive Into Python by Mark Pilgrim — maybe not so dry as the one above and better suited for beginners
- Google I/O: Painless Python Part 1 / Part 2 — talk introducing Python
