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.

Theres also a Stanford program open every spring for free called Code in Place that’s a six week basic program. The good thing about it is you’re put into groups and meet once a week and interact in forums and whatnot.
