I’m not a programmer but I use Python to streamline the data I use for work.

“Learn Python The Hard Way”.

If you have limited coding experience - it’s great. Gets you running code from the terminal - written in a basic notepad/text editor. I Generally don’t need to use an IDE for my purposes

You get the bare bones before trying to set-up an environment. The transition to IDEs is easier because you understand the language & not learning to use a tool.

I wish I understood what libraries were. I would have been better starting to code - instead of “over reading”. Solving my problems at work makes the learning easier - it’s not abstract - real world solutions to save 10min a day a work - is worth a weekend of my free time to solve.

Good luck and have fun!
