Learning python for non-computer-nerds? #AskingForAFriend (lemmy.ml)

A friend of mine is a social worker, with a cool hacker spirit, but not at all versed into computers.

She wants to learn programming.

I figured (from what i gathered around) that Python is a good language for learning as it has the just right amount of constraints, and that its constraints are actually useful for programming in other languages...

What sort of resources would you recommend to her? A book in particular? A guide/Howto or online course?

Thanks!
