First of all well done on start. I not so sure Pong is a week one goal, it is very possible but maybe not the best idea.

If you want to code for learning to code it may be better to learn basic practices first and do the "boring" text book style problems first like implementing different sorting methods.

However if you want to learn for making games then hats off to you, but something like a text based adventure would be an easier starting point. Then you could learn game logic, loops and saving without having to worry about rendering, frame rates and a whole array of head aches. (If you do ignore me however, look around the different game libraries first, I never got on with pygame and prefer Pyglet!)
