Nathan,

The following website+book, and the other resources listed there, might be
of some help to you, though they don't quite match up to all of your stated
preferences:


Dive Into Python

http://www.diveintopython.org/



The Dive Into Python book can be downloaded+printed and/or read on-line for
free!  And the links will guide you to some additional, possibly useful,
free learning resources.

I will keep you in my prayers.

In Christ,

Michael Bradley, Jr.
