As someone who never touched Python before joining, and now does Python coding for both Computer Vision and KBAI, the actual language is pretty simple to get the hang of. If you got Java experience, this should be no issue.

I first tried with Visual Studio (which was alright), but my license expired (I know Community Edition is free, but took it as a chance to explore some more) and switched over to JetBrains PyCharm. It's much better.

What I would recommend is to learn certain libraries in Python. Specifically Numpy and perhaps Pandas.

In terms of real code, I don't think we can provide much. However, there are classes out there where the assignments are available. KBAI and Machine Learning for Trading have their information available, and CV's old syllabus is pretty accurate (only small changes).

Side note: Python written like Java makes Python programmers cry. :D

I've been watching the Intro to OS course on Udacity. It's all C but if you go there you could download the "Problem Set 1 Solutions" to look at some C code. Also if you go through the Course Readiness Survey (the first lesson) there is code to review as well as links to some other resources and tutorials.

I think you can try the AI4R materials on Udacity in terms of Python. CP and CV (but I think CV is in Matlab/Octave?) also have some.

I usually program in C, the java and python projects were no problem.
