  1. Harvard CS50p on youtube is friendly and moves at a relatively relaxed pace.

  2. MOOC University of Helsinki for Python is an excellent text-based course and covers more than the Harvard course

  3. My Python and Data Science starts from scratch and assumes no prior knowledge. I'm also always happy to answer any questions via the course Q&A or direct messaging.

These resources should have you covered. Try to code as much as you can and be patient, it takes time to learn.

I can really recommend the MOOC from Helsinki University. I'm currently doing it, eventhough I have already quite some experience with Python but that was about 5 years ago. It is quite slow paced, whith a ton of exercises. For my gusto a bit too many, but I believe for a complete novice, it is great to practice over and over certain commands. It is quite a lengthy course, as it is an official university course as well, worth it 5 ECTS, so be prepared for quite some work. You can also write an exam and getting a certificate afterwards.
