I have always used the FB API using core Python urllib and other helpers(after reading the FB API docs, of course), but you may find this this and this helpful.

pyfacebook has not been updated in over 2 years and uses the deprecated REST API, so it would be a bad place for a beginner to start. I would try using either one of the various unofficial forks of the official Facebook SDK (I prefer PythonForFacebook's [1], but I might be biased because I have commit access), or one of the two "django-facebook" libraries (PythonForFacebook's [2] or Thierry Schellenbach's [3]).
