General python:
http://www.diveintopython.net
http://learnpythonthehardway.org
http://pymotw.com/2/
And of course google.com : )

ArcPy specific
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#/What_is_ArcPy/000v000000v7000000/
And of course google.com : )

I'm not being a smart@ss with the google comments... Once you're familiar with basic python syntax, I find it's muuuch easier to search for something than try and find what I'm looking for in the help/other doco.

Lol, I didn't take it that way. I use most of these already. I was just trying to see if anyone else had found any websites that I don't currently use. Thanks for the links!

stackexchange and this forum are often a huge help for me. The majority of the time, someone has already experienced the issue I am having and if the answer isn't here, it is a lot of times on stack exchange and in the event its not, the big brains that peruse this forum are usually pretty quick to point out how dumb I am. Respectfully, of course...

You also can go onto YouTube to find helpful tips on how to do things on python as well. I myself have used YouTube quite often to get answers to questions that I need answered or shown to me.
