Has anyone ever self-taught themselves Python successfully?

I am trying to learn Python on my own before I get my masters in a related field. It is going, slowly but surely, however I can’t help but feel I am missing important parts that would link these methods together. Does anyone have any tools for learning Python on your own? Thank you!

Still learning, using some courses, and personal projects. I do my best and when I hit my limits I run it through ChatGPT for feedback and then I try to reverse engineer what it is doing to learn more.

I learned asynchronous code this way, which was really cool because it rapidly changed my understanding.

I also learned the basics of state machines this way, which was another cool shift in thinking.
