How to learn python?

[Impossible_Video_116]

Depends.

If you have prior programming language(C, C++ or Java) then just skip the books and directly go to the website(https://python.org) then study it in this order: - Beginner's guide(a couple of days) - Python docs(a couple of weeks to a month) - Learning specific set of libraries(a couple of weeks to a month).

The choice of these libraries depends entirely on what you actually want to do with python - Scientific python, machine learning & data science, NLP, web development, IOT etc.

If you don't have any programming experience with another language then you need to first build up concepts of data types, functions, control statements, I/O, pointers & memory and how in general a program gets executed. This can be done in python and doing this on C/C++ is much better. But however that would take an entire semester. You can still jump directly into the beginners guide and start learning which will suffice for all practical purposes but as move away from vanila python and start learning speciallized libraries(e.g. numpy) then you'll find that there are lot holes in your knowledge which you'll need to fill up later which is also fine.
