I am slowly learning Python, and I am curious if anyone has come across some easy to follow tutorials or books explaining how to program simple to intermediate statistical methods, from basic descriptive tests to regression analysis and beyond.

Thinks Stats is good to learn some basic statistical concepts, but I don't think you want to do statistics this way, that is without using numpy and scipy.

One introduction to doing statistics with python that I like is

Be sure to check out O'Reilly's Python for Data Analysis, written by Wes McKinney. I've heard very good things about it: comprehensive and easy to follow. Good luck!
