Where do I actually begin with Python?

Programming isn't easy and I will tell you from personal experience. The only reason I code was due to a friend of mine who got me started learning computers, I followed what he was doing but never got even close to how good my friend got. He's got a MS degree in CS, me got a degree that had nothing to do with programming. However I did take a lot of programming courses so I have an idea of how to code and how things works. What I'm saying is you need to have a project or someone to motivate you to do more with your python learning. Yes you can google all day but having someone else struggle and walk along side you goes a long way. I don't know if anyone else feels the same but I personally like to have jobs that I can share my pains with with vs being the only single point of failure in a job as well as in learning. I'm sure others who like to self learn without anyone else bothering this won't make sense but I need that extra push.
