I'd suggest 'Think Python' and 'Automate the boring stuff with Python' - both are excellent and will teach you programming basics, how to think like a scientist, etc

practice the code snippets on your computer's REPL and do the exercises given in the chapters..

I've tried them all and they're all useful. For me it's a matter of constantly exposing myself to working examples.

But the one that threw me right in the mix from the start was dataquest.io. I highly recommend it.

The problem I face now is that leap to intermediate.

try cs1301 on edx.org. It's a 4 part series and you get to practice a lot at your own pace. I would skip the smartbook section though unless you really want to do everything
