  • Be aware that the documentation found on the Python site might help fill in lots of gaps:

    http://python.org/doc/
  • Mark Pilgrim's Dive into Python books (for Python 2 & Python 3...) are both freely available online. His Python 2 title can also be found as a OpenBSD package.
  • O'Reilly's introductory Python title, Learning Python, is also recommended for getting up to speed.
Note that Python is going through a major transition from Python 2 to Python 3 -- a change large enough that old Python 2 code might not run as is with the newer Python 3 interpreter. Right now, OpenBSD only sports Python 2 in packages, however a Python 3 port is in the works. I don't suspect that the Python 3 port will be available until after OpenBSD 5.0 is released.
