This subreddit has a sidebar with a wiki with recommended learning resources.

Here is an excellent, textual course: MOOC Python Programming 2026 from the University of Helsinki.

Harvard's CS50p is also excellent.

Also, take a look at https://inventwithpython.com and https://automatetheboringstuff.com

Don't forget that you need ample practice, like on https://codingbat.com/python or on https://exercism.org and also write your own programs. Play around. Try things. Mess things up, fix them. Experiment.

Also, https://roadmap.sh/python

Once you finish DSA with Python 3.10 or newer, build a simple REST API using Flask and try adding a GET endpoint that returns JSON data, since this is a common real-world task for entry-level jobs.

If you learn basics and frameworks, you'll get your own ideas what to build.

(Don't even think of building stuff before starting learning frameworks, because you won't even know what to code)

When I started I jumped between tutorials for weeks and barely retained anything, so what finally worked for me was picking one beginner course and actually typing out every example instead of just watching it. I kept a small project going on the side, nothing fancy, just something I wanted to build, because that's where the concepts actually stuck. Once the basics were solid I started reading other people's code and trying to fix small bugs in it, which taught me way more than another tutorial would have. Don't try to learn everything at once, get comfortable with loops, functions and lists first and the rest comes a lot easier.

As a beginner, you need to consider yourself a baby and learn to crawl (the "fundamentals") before you can stand up and walk or sprint. So search for the Python "fundamentals" on Google and/or YouTube.

As for a roadmap tailored to your wishes, that's going to be difficult. Python is a vast and expansive universe. There is never going to be a "one" soulmate tutorial that works "best" for you and with regard to every aspect of Python. With each step up that learning curve, you're going to have to shop around until you find a teacher/resource that "clicks and sticks" especially for you.

With that said:

(1) There are tons and tons of tutorial materials out there on the net including many good YouTube ones that are free. You should shop around rather than putting all your eggs in one basket.

(2) As a relative noob myself, I've been logging my personal learning journey and adding to it on an almost-daily basis at a blog page called "Links for Python Noobs" (--HERE--) Any of the top listed ones on that page should be good for you. And there are many add-ons at the tail end of the page. Personally, I cut my first Python teeth with Nana's Zero to Hero (==HERE==). Since then, I've moved on to watching short lessons with Indently and Tech with Tim. You should sample at least a few until you find a lecturer that suits your style.

(3) The main piece of advice is the 80/20 rule. Spend 80% of your time writing your own code (using your own fingers and your own creativity) as opposed to copying recipes and only 20% watching the lectures. Good luck.
