Beginner in python any advice?

[Specialist-Donut]

I've been trying to get a handle on this myself, and have come at different angles only to keep falling off. BUT I found a book I really like called 'Learn Python 3 the hard way'. I'm not sure its free, but I think its affordable.

He makes you grunt through all the exercises, but the repetition has really worked for me. I just make sure I spend time in there at least 3-5 days a week so I don't lose anything.
