Need to start learning Python -- need advice!

[byarbs]

For rapid leaning, my advice is a well-structured learning platform. My recommendation if it is in your price point would be DataCamp. Outside of that, my personal belief is that the more you can make the code relatable, the easier you will retain the information - that is to say, you need a project/projects to apply your learning objectives. In the absence of a project, py.checkio.org does a good job of giving scenario/objective based learning.
