Mike,

Pygame is a *great* way to learn game programming.  Python is as easy as
BASIC to program, but will also give you more power later on, when you
need it.  It's also free, which is very nice.

To learn how to program games, first you need to know how to program -
at least a little bit.

Start here:  http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/tut.html where guido
(the original developer of python) will walk you through the language,
and let you understand how it works, and how to do things in it.

You can also look here:  http://www.awaretek.com/tutorials.html where
there are a whole bunch of other python tutorials - some simpler and
some more complex than guido's.

Also, all things python are available (including the downloads) at
python.org.

Once you get familiar with python and have made a few simple programs,
go to http://www.pygame.org and try some of the tutorials there.
Eventually, start pulling apart simple games on pygame.org and changing
them, and you'll build up to where you're making your own games in no
time.

If you have any specific questions, (or just some trouble getting
started) come back here and send an email.  Someone will answer pretty
quick.

  - Scott
