Hi Jake,

As suggested by Max, "Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer 
Scientist" is the best choice. You can have a glance on these:

http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/
http://www.diveintopython.net/#download

Of course, you could look at python official website: http://python.org/

Hope this will help.

As I said previously in my other postings, I'll start focusing on task A as starting point. In the meanwhile, it'll be great to have an idea on the framework that you'll provide.
