As one who picked up Python and Zope/Plone together I'd HIGHLY, HIGHLY 
recommend that you avoid the extra complication of Zope when learning 
Python.  Once you're past that, make sure you install the ExternalEditor 
product for editing.

Use a simple text editor and run python on the command line (or look for 
a GUI/context sensitive editor if you're into that sort of thing).   
You'll save yourself a lot of headaches vs. starting inside Zope.

Python tutorials abound on the web, but I've not looked at them enough 
to recommend any particular one.

Cheers,
