I took a class from Wesley Chun on Python while at VMware and he did a good job at teaching Python. Sadly apart from writing simple scripts at home I haven't gotten a chance to work on full-fletched Python project.
@bankim: thanks for the kudos! i have to admit i'm one of those mutant engineers that actually likes teaching; hopefully my experience using Python really helped with giving you that perspective as opposed to someone who's just teaching you Python syntax which you can basically learn on SO or online elsewhere!
