I suggest you studying these books:

http://homepage.mac.com/s_lott/books/index.html

I learnt a great deal of information from the Python for Programmers title.

Besides you can take a look at Fernando's starter page at
http://fperez.org/py4science/starter_kit.html You can find many valuable
general Python sources listed there (especially tutorial videos from
PyCon09)

I can also suggest you trying Eclipse + PyDev combination. PyDev makes
debugging and following the flow of your programs very easier. For instance;

Try:

import matplotlib.pypot as plt
plt.plot(range(10))
plt.show()

and set a breakpoint in the first line and step into the matplotlib code to
see how it flows.

I'm beginning to read aboutPython OOP, classes, inheritance and the 
like. It seems like an understanding of those concepts is key to 
understanding how the import needs are met.

Well, here's an interesting twist on help, PUG, Python Users Groups. A 
world wide list is at ., 
The nearest one to me is near San Jose, CA about 180 miles from here, 
and meets the fourth Thursday of the month. Fortunately, I travel down 
there fairly often to visit friends and family. I think I'll mark my 
calendar.
