I have no clue how to make a sitemap for my website. I'm trying to go through Google Sitemaps, but I have never used Python before so I don't know how to do it. Any suggestions?

My suggestion would be to use one of the many applications out there that can automatically generate the required XML sitemap file.

The sitemap the python script produces is nothing more than an xml file, that gets submitted to google.
The script gets put in your home directory, just above your domain directory. Edit the config.xml to reflect your web site. Once you run the script, place the sitemap.xml in your domain folder, as google needs to find the site map for that folder plus all sub folders. So placing in a sub folder, google would not see a sister subfolder.
Before you submit your sitemap, go through the site map with a text editor and verify that there is nothing there you do not want google to show in its listings.
Hope this helps,
