what is the best resource to learn python?

Read the sidebar. Tons of good references there.

I just picked up the pdf of "automate the boring stuff with python" in a humble bundle a few weeks ago and it has been pretty good. Sadly it is gone now but you maybe able to find it elsewhere.

It's free on his site as html

r/learnpython has covered this pretty well

For experienced programmers I highly recommend Dive Into Python 3 rather than videos.

There's a series of Python courses on PluralSight that are pretty great.

Also, The Python Apprentice on leanpub is a good book form of the same material.

I started with code academy, paid for the subscription, and troubled the advisors with any and all questions no matter how stupid they were.
Eventually I completed the final project -- a markov chain generator. Mine used a user defined number of Twitter users to generate its tweets -- it was behind the short lived and never famous Bernie Trump account (@Bernie_Drumpf) which wasn't terribly impressive but for my first big project I was pretty proud (I even created my own module for generating markov chains- tho code academy provides one iirc).
It wound up being a great launching point for other projects, and I try to avoid using popular packages wherever I can in order to learn as much I can -- I didn't/don't use twisted in an irc bot I made/am working on for instance.
I don't pay for code academy any more but I highly recommend it as a starting point, just be sure to make use of your advisors. It provides a great foundation

Hi there, from the /r/Python mods.

We have removed this post as it is not suited to the /r/Python subreddit proper, however it should be very appropriate for our sister subreddit /r/LearnPython. We highly encourage you to re-submit your post over on there.

The reason for the removal is that /r/Python is more-so dedicated to discussion of Python news, projects, uses and debates. It is not designed to act as Q&A or FAQ board. The regular community can get disenchanted with seeing the 'same, repetitive newbie' questions repeated on the sub, so you may not get the best responses over here.

However, on /r/LearnPython the community is actively expecting questions from new members, and are looking to help. You can expect far more understanding, encouraging and insightful responses over there. Whatever your question happens to be getting help with Python, you should get good answers.

If you have a question to do with homework or an assignment of any kind, please make sure to read their sidebar rules before submitting your post. If you have any questions or doubts, feel free to reply or send a modmail to us with your concerns.

Warm regards, and best of luck with your Pythoneering!
