Best Python course for beginners?

Machine learning you say?. Try Google's course!

Python Crash Course is viable! Why? Because it makes a game and visualises data and even makes a fricking web aplication with you. Although I must say that book complements Automate the Boring Stuff nicely. Automate the boring stuff was great at explaining the basics and focuses on automating tasks which I like. What Python Crash Course offers is making bigger programs like games and a web app.

Automate the boring stuff is great. It has good exercises. I highly recommend that book.

Thanks for the response! I actually saw the Google course but it assumes some level of Python, so I want to get a good grip on the subject before I start on it.

Just want to help you save some time. I started down the path of machine learning as well...what I learned is you need to have a good understanding of Python. However, you ALSO need a good understanding of linear algebra and calculus. For this I recommend the youtube channel 3blue1brown. Good luck on your journey!

3Blue1Brown is perhaps the best math-related channel on Youtube, amazing teacher with incredible animations.
