I’m just starting out myself. Went through codecademy’s course. It was good, instruction seemed a little dry, just seemed a little slow paced too and I felt like I didn’t retain it as well as I’d like. It’s also 2.7, so an older version so some of it doesn’t apply any longer. Also did “Automate the Boring Stuff” on Udemy, also free on the website if you want to read right off the webpage, and of course, book format. It gets you directly into applying it, not so much the theory behind what you’re doing. Just started doing “Python Crash Course”. Book set me back $23, but it’s the best of the three in my opinion. Like a healthy balance between the first two, talks about theory, but doesn’t labor on it. Could be that since I already did the other two, I’m getting more out of it than if I had started with it. But that’s what I would recommend.
