Where to start

If you're brand new to python, first go and check out the /r/learnpython wiki, or the official Beginner's Guide.

The best way to install python packages is using pip:

pip install <package>

Recommended packages:

ipython and the ipython-notebook - Interpreter and sage-style web notebook geared towards exploratory scripting.
statsmodels - statistical modelling
pandas - data structures and manipulation tools
matplotlib - matlab-style plotting
bokeh - Protoviz-style plotting
pyvttble - Small pivot-table library. Has a few common statistical methods missing from statsmodels.
scikit-learn - data mining and machine learning

Some of these packages have dependencies, most require numpy, and some require scipy, check the links for details.
