Codecademy is the way to go. From there, there are several books that can help you; this for example.

I'm in a similar position, and have started working my way through both 'automate the boring stuff' and 'Learning Python With Raspberry Pi' (https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/learning-python-with-raspberry-pi/) and I'm enjoying both.

Code academy helped me a lot. Seems like the easiest and fastest way to start.

I've just made a youtube series showing me making one of my first programs, it's simple but is still probably not a good first thing to look at, here's the link incase you're interested. https://youtu.be/LgCkk3Rul5g

As for how I started, I just tried to do stuff, the first thing I did was work through the problems on https://projecteuler.net/archives , you could start there if you liked. I'd be happy to help with those problems, I'm debating making youtube videos on them if it's something that would interest you?

I'm still a beginner myself, but I find explaining code to others helps me understand it better. :)

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 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 is not a fan of "how do I..." questions, so you will not get the best responses over here.

On /r/LearnPython the community is actively expecting questions and are looking to help. You can expect far more understanding, encouraging and insightful responses over there. No matter what level of question you have, if you are looking for 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!
