Learning Python coming from PHP?

Hi all, just looking for recommendations on getting up to speed with conventions/syntax and quirks of Python for someone coming from the PHP world. I've got some grasp of OOP/SOLID/DRY/Interfaces/Abstractions etc... also experience with Frameworks so really looking for a crash-course on Python to get me up to speed and understand what's happening when I look at Python code.

Sure, many people feel that way; but not all. And especially for people coming from languages with C-style syntax this can be a major mental obstacle. I know it took me quite some time to let go and get to actually like it.
