There's a lot of good stuff on the readings section of the course website.

I also found that I made more progress by learning how to use the built-in documentation (using the help function in the shell) than using any other single reference. If you start by looking at the documentation for something you more or less know how to work with, like help('string"), that will help you understand how the documentation is written.

I'm currently going through the same course. I know that the MIT course has a few reference materials to help through the course, but i've found just as much help going through the reference material here: http://academicearth.org/courses/introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming it's the same course, with videos, and they just have a few more refrence works to check out. I really like the HTML book that they're using to teach out of http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/thinkCSpy/html/index.html it has a lot of examples, and gives you practice questions to work on. good luck.
