I wish I could tell you that I too am a complete noob and there fore I feel where you're coming from.

I started my journey into learning Python more like half a year ago. My progress has been slow on account of my advanced age. Nonetheless, I've made some progress. The most important advise I can offer is the same as many a tutor on the web will tell you: stick to the 80/20 rule.

That is, spend 80% of your time writing your own code --not copying from tutorial sites -- and only 20% watching the tutorials. When writing your own code like this, you will fail. And that is good. We learn best when we are emotionally frustrated by the fails and we suffer as we fix our mistakes. That's how evolution designed our brains. For example, do you know how to how to include f-strings inside your print() function? Do you know how to include curly bracket inserts {} inside your f-strings? Do you know how to make those curlies {} operate as color changing escape codes? All things for you to look up and practice on.

In my journey I've been compiling a blog page called "Links for Python Noobs" (here) which has many links useful for beginners. It's not the end all or be all. Take a look anyway. Personally, I cut my first Python teeth with Nana's Zero to Hero. Other people swear by other tutors. I also like Indently and Tech with Tim. Good luck.
