What does : mean in python? I'm learning how to program in python and the tutorial i'm using
doesn't explain what : does. I can't find what : does on the internet either. Please answer :D

In object indices (e.g. some_list[4:-1]), this is called slice notation. You use it to access parts of a list/object instead of single items. See also this question for more information.
On other statements, it is required by the syntax to introduce a new code block, like on try: or if something:

I've tried google but found nothing on this topic and my final option was stack overflow.
Does Valid attribute names, Valid attribute reference and Attribute reference mean the same thing?
Yes, probably putting "valid" as a prefix is just a way to affirmate that you have to create an attribute reference that makes sense or just to follow good habits.
There goes a post to good habits when creating variables/references:

By 'true function' I mean a function that cannot be recreated with ordinary python logic. For example the append function could simply be done by creating a list one larger (through lens if you dont define that as a function) than that of the original, and then transfering the contents plus that one from a user input.
If I understand your question correctly, the answer is none. You can implement the entire specification of python, in python. It is self-hosting, as are many other languages.

Which name is given a function that is separated by undescore.
function_name.
And to a function like FunctionName? and what would be the right one for python and ANSI C.??
Function names like func_one are written in snake case, while functions written like FunctionOne are written in Pascal case, which is a subset of Camel case where the first letter is also uppercase.
Thanks to #abelenky for pointing out the initial error.
function_name is called a Snake Case. It is the recommended casing for Python.

I need to know the meaning of <> in Python. In Visual Basic, it means that if we have a<>0 then a is not equal to zero.
It's the same in Python 2, it means "not equal". See documentation here.
!= can also be written <>, but this is an obsolete usage kept for backwards compatibility only. New code should always use !=.
Python 3 does not have the <> operator.
