Thanks for the plug! :-)
But if you (the OP) already know Perl the standard official tutorial
should be a great start. It will teach you the Python basics in a few hours.
And as Steve said, don't try to translate Perl to Python, that leads to
awkward code that probably won't run very well.
It's a bit like translating a natural language like French into English.
You translate the ideas not the words. Every language
has its own idioms and vernacular, a literal translation just
sounds odd. It's the same with programming languages.
