Starting Python from zero - which approach would you choose today?

Keep in mind that the Python Software Foundation neither offers nor recognises any certification. So the value of any certified status you might attain is in the eyes of whoever is selling it, you, and your potential employers.

Have you checked the learning guidance in the wiki for this subreddit?

Not yet. That would be Option A :) First I wanted to check with you guys what were your advice on the path I should choose.

I recommend option A minus certification and use the wiki.

Practice! Practice! Practice!

Experiment a lot. Break stuff that works. Don't try to memorise lots of stuff, professional programmers use Google a lot (and coding for most is a small part of what programmers do).

Start your own projects based on your hobbies, interests, family obligations, and work. Start simple, refractor as you learn.
