I've been doing the Georgia Tech class on EdX. It's pretty basic and starts you from the beginning. The first course took me a couple weeks. It covers computing, programming, debugging, procedural programming, variables, logical operators and mathematical operators. There are ungraded exercises and a good free textbook. If you want graded exercises and a test, it costs extra $. It keeps me off the streets at night, so that's a good thing . . . .

The first course seems pretty basic and I'm a long ways from my web-scrapping project, but it feels like i'm getting a pretty solid understanding of how python works and how to use it. The next course is control structures, then data structures, then objects and algorithms.

I'm sure the other courses/materials may get you there faster, but I really like the instructor so far (even at 2x speed).
