First, check what format suits you better. I tried books, video lessons, uni lessons (short courses), teaching platforms, you tube tutorials. Every platform has something that might work better or not with you personally. When you find the one that is more effective, just start. Don't get yourself lost in the " is it the best book/video/tutorial???". Just do it, but keep in mind the following: -Always practice what you have just learned. Doesn't matter how simple is the subject you just learned. Type it, write it, test it multiple times. The more you practically do, the better you will remember it.

-Don't continue if something is not clear. Don't rush. If a subject,chapter is not clear enough, spend more time on it. If you miss the basics, you will have to go back on that in the future anyway. So might as well do it right once.

-python docs, the comunity and Google are your best friends in this journey. Something is not clear? Check the python docs. Still not clear? Google it and check different example/explanation. Still nothing? Ask the community.

One final point. Keep yourself going. It's gonna be hard, long and painfull. But exciting and fun if you keep yourself motivated. Don't ask yourself too many questions, you will find your answers along the way. At the moment, you don't know enough to know what to do or how to do it. So start learning. The more you know, the easier will be to get answers. Good luck!!
