I'm enjoying Google's Python Class

I enjoyed both and they were an effective way to get started as a beginner.

My son, some of you have met, is showing an interest in Python
programming.  He has never done any sort of programming in the past, however
I told him that we would learn Python together.  I have very little
programming experience myself, but I have worked in Python in the past.
 Mostly either reworking something already written or very small targeted
scripts for a certain task.

What would be a good book , or website, that we can sit down at the
kitchen table to learn Python side by side?

I thinking something which creates short bursts of code that has a usable
product in the end might be better, this way he doesn't get bored and decide
to quit before he realizes the power of Python.

Thanks everyone!
