I've been working with python for about 4 or five months. I understand how to use boolean, a little bit of I/O, making functions, writing my own classes, and importing modules. Pretty much the bare basics. Outside of this python experience, I have little knowledge of programming. So, can anyone recommend a good, intermediate tutorial for python? Particularly about using that C wrapper in the standard library.

Personally you might want to migrate to php, but my personal bias.

Check out devshed.com. it is a great resource for all software development languages and really good tutorials.
 
http://diveintopython.org/ is good for general stuff. Have you already looked through the ctypes documentation? http://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html
There're also some examples at http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Ctypes
I also suggest just diving write into ctypes by using them. Write your .c file, then open up ipython and play around with the library.
