Video? I can't imagine a video tutorial of a programming language being very useful... however when I learned python I used 'Dive into Python'. I suggest downloading it and working through the exercises that it gives you.
Python is very heavily documented and a quick google search prepended with python will almost always turn up something useful for you: (ie, a search on "python video tutorial" came up with this).
Also you can look to the py docs for a straight-forward explanation of the language and a psuedo-tutorial here.

Videos? ...hmmm. No, I don't think there are any. If there were, they'd probably be on youtube.com, but I'm not sure. My source for starting python was a html book I downloaded. Here's a link to a bunch of 'em:

I hope you find what your looking for!

+1 for Dive into Python, though it does assume you already know some programming from another language.

Hey guys,

Thanks for your responses! I'll dive into it as soon as possible.

http://docs.python.org/ contains pretty much everything you will need to get started.

I don't think that watching a video of someone else writing programs will help much. Other guides are here http://www.python-eggs.org and http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread20774.html
