Great! We're always looking for people to help.

Entertainer is written in python. I'd suggest you read through the
first bit of the python tutorial at http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html

I'd say pick a bug that's currently unassigned, join the IRC channel and
ask for some mentoring. ALL of the core entertainer developers are
competent and can mentor you through your first few bugfixes.

We can also use people willing to test Entertainer extensively, file
bugs. triage them, and verify that bugs ore fixed. We can delp you get
started with that as well.

Please join our #entertainer IRC channel on Freenode.

Dive Into Python by Mark Pilgrim is also a very good read to learn about Python. And it's freely available at http://diveintopython.org/ .
