Hi dummyman,
Everyone starts out as a beginner :) As Martey pointed out, pyfacebook is
dated now(Thanks Martey!) - You can go through the docs on the links posted
by him. If you have a problem, try searching on
StackOverflow;
they have a team of FB developers monitoring questions on FB app
development.

Also, if you are in for some serious learning, go through
thistutorial.
Actually, the most difficult part is to get the oAuth part right
- once that is done, using the returned JSON data in Python is matter of
working on dicts. The FB docs are comprehensive, but may be daunting at
first. You can, and maybe should use libraries already developed, but
learning oAuth 2.0 authorization will be nice experience :) - Also, Google+
have launched their own API for developers which also uses oAuth 2.0 for
authorization.

pyfacebook has not been updated in over 2 years and uses the deprecated 
REST API, so it would be a bad place for a beginner to start. I would try 
using either one of the various unofficial forks of the official Facebook 
SDK (I prefer PythonForFacebook's [1], but I might be biased because I have 
commit access), or one of the two "django-facebook" libraries 
(PythonForFacebook's [2] or Thierry Schellenbach's [3]).

I have always used the FB API using core Python urllib and other
helpers(after reading the FB API docs, of course), but you may find this
this  and
thishelpful.
