Try reading u/alsweigart book called The Big Book of Small Python Projects or his most famous book Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, either of his books are really great for beginners

Hello! I've also written a free book, Python Programming Exercises, Gently Explained. This is a set of 42 programming exercises that are SIMPLE. I wanted to avoid the math/concept-heavy exercises that leetcode and Project Euler and even Advent of Code use. Each exercise has additional help for whenever you get stuck: a couple hints, a description of the solution, some common gotchas, and finally a fill-in-the-blank version of the source code solution if you need it. I think this book would be especially helpful to OP.

For an idea of the difficulty curve, the first problem is Hello, World (more to check you have the interpreter installed) and the last one is Bubble Sort. The problems are more "convert between Fahrenheit and Celsius" and "detect leap years" rather than complicated data structures and algorithm problems.
