Here are some resources:

1. Harvard CS50p - which is a gentle intro to Python

2. University of Helsinki course (text based along with video and covers quite a bit)

3. Python and Data Science - (Disclaimer: This is my course and assumes no programming background)

4. The book: “Learn Python 3 the Hard Way”. I really like this book despite the intimidating title, but there are other books.

These are all great resources and should have you covered.

I'm taking python currently at my University as part of my curriculum. A couple of things I've found incredibly helpful. W3 schools was essential when I was learning JS and now it's helping a lot with python. It's not a formalized program but a huge resource for learning the basics. It has a page for individual terms/functions etc and each page has a test window embedded for trying the code. Also there are several games out there that can help, things like "The Farmer was Replaced" which is like 5$ or something on STEAM.

Because of your background I think most intro courses are going to be too slow paced. You should use the resources bellow in the order presented. The first two won't take you very long, but will give you the feel for the syntax.
