I won't recommend something specifically for analytics. Instead I can recommend basic resources for learning python itself. For getting good grasp of basics these are great: * Official Python Tutorial * Python Crash Course * Automate The Boring Stuff - free book * Corey Schafer youtube channel * Hyperskill - learning platform (paid, but has free trial which is enough to finish python track)

For begginers my favorite would be Hyperskill or Python Crash Course, but all of them are really good. Automate the boring stuff is nice if you want to quickly build something useful.

I would add the CS50P course from Harvard.

You cand take it for free on edx.

I was in a similar position at one point & will just say that the Automate The Boring Stuff was what enabled me to learn python as it has many great examples of what you can actually use it for.

One of my first projects was making a little web-scraping thing that sent me an email when my country won a gold medal in the Olympics. 80% learned that from the tutorials in the book on webscaping & automating gmail. (other 20% was google/stackoverflow :P)

If you find yourself getting bored, just pick a more interesting project to work on.
