If you can hang in there for a month or so, some time in June a review and repackage of my CGS workshop on technical direction with python/xsi will most likely be released as training material ;)
Regardless, good call moving away from VB. Youtube is full of solid Python training material these days. If you can already script within xsi a bit you should be able to get decent mileage learning as you're doing by converting what you've done first, and getting over some of the inevitable differences that make VB seem "easier" in the beginning. O'Reilly's Learning Python if you feel like killing some trees is a fantastic first book to have, and I've had pretty good feedback on it from various students or just people I helped who picked it up.
