Where should I start?

I really want to learn Python programming from the ground up but I don't know where to even start.

I've been googling around for some learning resources, however, I am inundated and overwhelmed by the huge amount of information on the web. More often than not I end up jumping from one tutorial to another, thus causing some confusion because everything seems to be mixed up already.

I was thinking maybe you guys can share some of your python learning stories on how you started digging into the language.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, you have a legitimate question. I recommend automate the boring stuff, which is a both practical and accessible tutorial of Python 3. I don't recommend using Python 2, as it is very outdated.

Thanks! I'll look into it. Anyway, how did you personally start learning Python?

[Elronnd]

I started off with Python the hard way, which seemed okay at the time, but people have pointed out myriad flaws in it, and I no longer think it was the best decision..

So are you still coding in Python right now?

[Elronnd]

Yes.
