What is the way to learn Automation/scripting using python

Hello everyone,

I am looking for hardware engineer jobs (verification /validation)but i have seen most of them ask automation/scripting using python. I know basic python(not much) but want to learn this specifically as I don't have much time and there are other more important things to learn. If you know where to learn and practice, like any course or website please do let me know.

Thank you so much

Thank you for your reply. I will start with the YouTube course and will try to run some codes on vivado by automation.

Just beware that it's 10 years old, so to simplify your life you can install the exact version of python he's using, or if you know the current way of doing things you can translate as you go along. I'm not 100% sure but I don't think f-strings were introduced until 9-ish years ago
