How can a total, complete beginner read source code?


I am a complete, total beginner in programming, although I do have knowledge of CSS and HTML.

I would like to learn Python. I downloaded lots of source code but the amount of files and the complexity really confuses me. I don't know where to begin. Is there a particular order I should look for?

Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry guys, I forgot to mention that I already have both the online tutorial and a couple of books handy. I basically I don't quite understand how to "dismantle" and understand complex source code, in order to grasp programming techniques and concepts.

EDIT2: Thanks for the extremely quick comments, guys. I really appreciate it. This website is awesome.
