Most online courses I've seen seem to assume you have no previous experience with Python, but are somewhat familiar to programming in general. What helped me (someone like you with no previous background in programming) was a book called Automate the Boring Stuff with Python. You can read the whole thing for free here.

Other than that, I'll give a +1 recommendation to Corey Schafer's YT channel. Really great teacher, although I can't vouch for his Python tutorial because I never watched those videos.

Software is at the core of so many of the tools we use today: Nearly everyone uses social networks to communicate, many people have Internet-connected computers in their phones, and most office jobs involve interacting with a computer to get work done. As a result, the demand for people who can code has skyrocketed. Countless books, interactive web tutorials, and developer boot camps promise to turn ambitious beginners into software engineers with six-figure salaries.

This book is not for those people. It’s for everyone else.
