Hello Guy,
I'm assuming then that you've had some previous programming experience.
Have you seen Dive into Python?
http://diveintopython.org/
It might help you jump into writing Python programs; the intended audience
is experienced programmers.

The chapter on Unit Testing in Dive into Python is quite good:

You might find:
http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/
http://www.idyll.org/~t/www-tools/twill/
useful in doing tests on web appications.
Good luck!
