I want to learn python as quick as possible, for web programming at first, and applications later on. Any leads?

There are many tutorials available, see http://www.python.org/doc/Intros.html for one list.

I have an xp windows and ms office machine. (I'm considering linux, but it's a bit daunting?)
How do I run python scripts? Nothing happens when I double-click the filename, in IDLE I only get the code, and not what it does.

You can run the program in IDLE using Run / Run Module (F5).

I know that cgi-scripts must be called from html. I want to to use a python server for testing. Which is thebest, and how?

There are many options for web programming, one list is here: http://www.python.org/moin/WebProgramming

In addition to CherryPy and Quixote, Snakelets is a complete web solution that is intended to be easy to learn.
Twisted and Zope are perhaps the most comprehensive solutions.
