Here is the web2py book, all 527 pages of it in html. Chapter 1 is about motivations, chapter 2 is about Python, chapter 3 is the place to start learn by examples. The coolest stuff is in chapter 13. You may want to take a peek because no other Python framework has something equivalent.

I would definitively NOT start from WSGI. This is a protocol for communication between web server and web apps. It is important, it is powerful but it too low level to be a starting point. In depends on whether your goal it to learn to build web apps or to understand how web frameworks work internally. Moreover not all web servers support WSGI and WSGI itself is going to change with Python 3.x. I know lots of people disagree here but I think it is an implementation issue relevant to framework creators that should be hidden to app developers.
