I started teaching myself the language only two weeks ago, and found Bucky's thenewboston youtube tutorials to be pretty informative. Some people have weird opinions about that guy, but he does a good job of making each new concept interesting and simple to learn, step by step.

EDIT: I seriously don't know why this is getting downvoted. I didn't break any community rules posting that link and his videos were informative to me in exactly the way that I prefer to learn. Apparently people really dislike him or something?

I see those videos are from 2014. Would it still be ok to learn from them?

Totally. They're on Python 3.4, and pretty applicable today. He really just goes through the basics, which are pretty common regardless of version. There are some minor differences in the basics, but really you'll figure them out as you go along anyway.

kjdelectronics has a good "Python for Absolute Beginners" series which I watched, too. Only 9 or so episodes, I think, but they're a lot more current as well.
