ShowMeDo is a great site to learn about Python (and a few other subjects) by watching screncasts. One of my favourite videos is Learn Django: Create a Wiki in 20 minutes, which taught me the basic concepts so that I was later able to adapt and play around with Google App Engine. Many authors on ShowMeDo have multiple screencasts (I made a few on RUR-PLE and Crunchy a while ago), some of which (not mine) are very professional looking. Such series of videos give the viewpoint of a given author, introducing some concepts in a logical sequence.
The newest addition to the ShowMeDo site is called Learning Paths. The idea of Learning Paths is to improve upon the existing series by including videos from multiple authors into a coherent sequence. While this concept is very much in its infancy, it promises to become a great addition to what is already a fantastic site.
In case anyone were wondering: I have no financial interest whatsover in ShowMeDo; I am just a satisfied user who considers this site a very good resource, well worth exploring. If only I had more time...
