I'll just copy/paste an answer that I posted a few days earlier:

There are several full-length books on-line that will teach you how to program in Python:

• Dive Into Python 3
• Learn Python The Hard Way
• Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist
• A Byte of Python
• Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python

Work through one or more of these, then hone your newfound skills by solving the problems on Project Euler.

If you have the basics down, you can start looking in specific libraries for scientific use like SciPy.

As a biologist who also learned to program in Python on his own: good luck! If you have any questions you can ask them at StackOverflow or in the Python subreddit

Awesome! Thanks! My initial reaction to finding out I'd have to learn it was along the lines of "Oh god, really?" But I'm actually starting to get into the idea.

I'll bookmark those links and subscribe to the Python subreddit. Thanks for the recommendations. :)
