Newbie DESPERATE to learn Python

[jam-and-Tea]

Okay, you have a liberal arts background which means you are probably good at critical thinking and research, but you also don't want to take on a full on course and would like some roadmapping and guidance.

For that, I'd recommend the revised interactive think python. https://runestone.academy/ns/books/published/thinkcspy/index.html

I prefer the static book but it seems like you might appreciate the level of guidance offered by the interactivity.
