Well, the usual answers are:

	python.org (official tutorial)
	_Learning Python_ (the O'Reilley book)
	_Programming Python_ (the O'Reilly book, how I learned Python)
	comp.lang.python (great newsgroup, excellent SNR)


But Bash/Powershell shouldn't be necessary to learn Python.  Bash has
little in common with Python.  Powershell can be thought of as a broken
Python/bash/Perl/whatever_else_they_could_think_of_to_throw_in.  Python
can be thought of as a fixed Java ;-)
