I'm confused -- do yu want to use GDAL with Python, or with C#? Or maybe 
you mean Iron Python, which is a Python implementation based on the .net 
CLR. If that's the case, then, in theory, you should be able to use the 
C# bindings, but I have no idea how.

If you mean plain old python (sometimes known as CPython, as the runtime 
is implemented in C), I'd start at python.org to make sure you've got 
the basics of Python down first, then take a look at the various Python 
scripts that come with GDAL to see how the GDAL bindings work. I'd also 
check out numpy -- it's very helpful for the kind of stuff you might do 
with GDAL.
