MIke,
By now as you can guess Python is a pretty deep language with a broad
cross selection of users with a fire hose stream of information about
it.
Yet it's becoming the go to language to teach kid's the basics of
programming as well. http://www.raspberrypi.org/
Try this link for a basic email lists http://www.python.org/community/lists/
But it seems many email lists are starting to quiet down and many
folks are shifting over to options like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python
I would agree with Ben that Sublime Text editor is a very nice editor.
I went through 5 others before finding Sublime and by far for me it
turned out to be the one.
Lots of folks use Vim or Emacs and I would say if you are a command
line person than these 2 are a good way to look at.
But any text editor will work starting out.
Once you get use to Python's layout style ( 4 spaces ) and that it's
case sensitive, then things will start to fall in place. http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008
Just dig in and keep pounding a way at it and before long Python will
make sense to you.

Thanks, Rohit! I appreciate the work. Is there a "get started for
newbies" list? If not, this and the other stuff you folks have
given me would be a great start.
All the best,
