I think the best way to learn a programming language is to learn it yourself. Imho, these kind of things don't work well with courses; they often restrict the way you think.
For Python, you can start from Learn Python the Hard Way (free) http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/
After you finish this, start working on a small project and learn other things on the way.
For mentor support; I think Stackoverflow is the perfect source to ask questions and get feedback (but remember to search before asking a question).
