Title: I've been doing Python professionally for 4 years now, including Django (sys admin to front end), GIS, and some basic machine learning.<p>Some pre-reading would be most effective so you'll have specific questions.  If you already know how to code and are picking up Python, I recommend http://diveintopython.org/ .  If you are new to programming, I recommend http://learnpythonthehardway.org/index<p>Email me to agree on a schedule; I'd prefer Freenode IRC if you want to chat.
