For the Python side of things, I recently needed to come up to speed pretty quickly with the Python syntax to better be able to make out the ROS examples in the language. I found a bunch of Python tutorials on YouTube, but I settled on the videos of the 2-day Python class given by Nick Parlante at Google for their employees:

It takes about 5 hours to sit through all the videos, but Nick is pretty good instructor and the class moves a long at a pretty good clip so you won't get bored if you are already generally familiar with basic programming concepts.

This class won't teach you everything about Python, but for the things that you didn't learn you be well prepared to then pick up the missing pieces from many of the Python programming books.
