Why you dirty rotten *%#@! How dare you come here and ask a question like that
No, actually, I'm just kidding.
Try python.org. There is a ton of links from there that should help you out. Of course, there is also alltheweb and google.
Out of curiousity, why Python?

Out of curiousity, why Python?
I'm learning it in one of my subjects for uni.
It really is an amazing language.
I'd say it's as good as perl .. which is a BIG statement.
I'd even go so far as to say it's better than perl for larger scripts because it's more readable and as such is easier to maintain/update/understand.
Very easy to learn too .. took me maybe a few days to get a good grip on it. Now just trying to get my head around GUI development in it .. using pyQT. I'm finding the recomended tutorial (
http://www.opendocspublishing.com/pyqt/) incredibly difficult and haven't found another one.

OK, I agree with you that Python rocks, although I think it's infinitely better than Perl. I've lately been doing a lot of GUI programming in Python (releasing stuff real soon, I swear!), although it's been in wxPython (which is excellent). As for resources, what you want are the mailing lists and the newsgroup - I haven't been able to find any forums either. I tried, because I prefer them to mailing lists, but you get what you get.
Anyway, look
here to search the newsgroup archives, and look
here for information on mailing lists. In particular, I see a mailing list called "PyKDE" which deals with the PyQT bindings for python. If you have a non-QT specific question, I might be able to help you.

I've been wanting to get a good grip on several more languages before i goto uni. Do you got any good python sites where a complete newbie to the language can learn it with simple tutorials?
