Hi sean, welcome! The first tip is to poke around the opencasade forums. Many elementary topics are addressed there in c++ language, and can be translated to python easily.
Another great resource is to read romans' series of occ blogs: opencascade.blogspot.com. He has a great set or intro articles that help with the basics. Lastly, make sure to check out the occ samples: there is a lot of code in there that demonstrates the basics. Material removal simulations are a great occ application, you have chosen well.
