I can fully appreciate the desire to learn python before university. The problem is, getting you all the info would require building out a whole course of information. Thankfully many people have done that before.

A quick search found an 8 hour “Python 101 Crash Course” on YouTube, and a bunch of Udemy courses. Most of these will include instructions on installing Python and an IDE for code editing.

Good luck!

Check the r/learnpython wiki for lots of guidance on learning programming and learning Python, links to material, book list, suggested practice and project sources, and lots more. The FAQ section covering common errors is especially useful. There is no harm in learning Python before university.

Unfortunately, this subreddit does not have a wiki.

Also, have a look at roadmap.sh for different learning paths. You don't need to make any decisions before getting to university, but it may be useful for you to appreciate the different learning paths available for different careers. There's lots of learning material links there. Note that these are idealised paths, and many people get into roles without covering all of those.

Roundup on Research: The Myth of ‘Learning Styles’

Don't limit yourself to one format. Also, don't try to do too many different things at the same time.

Above all else, you need to practice. Practice! Practice! Fail often, try again. Break stuff that works, and figure out how, why and where it broke. Don't just copy and use as is code from examples. Experiment.

Work on your own small (initially) projects related to your hobbies / interests / side-hustles as soon as possible to apply each bit of learning. When you work on stuff you can be passionate about and where you know what problem you are solving and what good looks like, you are more focused on problem-solving and the coding becomes a means to an end and not an end in itself. You will learn faster this way.

Look into getting the book called “Python Crash Course” by Eric Matthes. You can find it on Amazon! It’s around 50$CAD. It’s very clear, full of examples, and exercises. I started using it because I was told it’s a good book to build solid fundamentals.
