Just pickup a good book and make sure you code all the examples and
exercises yourself, even if it seems easy.
Have fun with Python!

The books suggestions of others are quite good.
Here is another approach: pick an easily understandable
application, and work doing things with it.

Perhaps immodestly, I think that as soon as you
understand how to define a function and a class,
you can treat this paper

http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/11/3/8.html

as an introduction to applied Python programming.
The application area is very specific---game theoretic
simulations---but the illustrated techniques are
meant to be more general.
