Need Writing Python script to populate fields of a layer with underlying info from another layer?

I have layers of points and lines that have to be updated regularly. It

It needs to have the intersecting attributes from another layer stored in its fields/attribute table. IE. towns, school districts etc, and roadnames etc.

so for a layer of points, what town, school district and street name each point is in/on. it was so easy with ArcGIS 9 using VBA, but need a little help getting started using ArcGIS 10.1 and Python.

Thank you so much
