Have you got any prior programming experience?   The basics of Python is
fairly easy to learn, but if you've got zero previous programming
experience then it might be a challenge to get up to speed with only 1 week
available.

Either way, here's some useful references/links for you:

It depends on your previous experience but
the official tutorial on the python.org website
is a good place to start if you have programmed
before in another language.

You can easily learn the basics of python in a day.

If you are a beginner to programming as well as
python then you need to start with one of the
non-programmers tutorials listed on the site.
Which one is best will be very subjective.
You need to try a few and see if they work
for your style.

Whichever route you choose feel free to ask
questions here if you get stuck. Please tell us
Which tutorial,
Which python version you use
Which OS
Show us your code and include the full error
message not just a summary.
