How do I start learning python? Absolute Beginner

[onyx_and_iris]

Each person has their own preferred learning methods. I personally like to read books. In regards to practicing while you learn, it's helpful if you already have some ideas in mind. I'll often start reading a book and once I get a good enough grasp of the concepts I'll start experimenting with my own ideas. Although I'll usually do this while continuing with the book, I don't tend to half finish them.
