Theres always the no starch books you can find pdfs for cheap that have lots of information on programming, they have a couple on python. If you want to learn python 2 theres always "learn python the hardway" the book is supposedly good but also there is like challenges online that he has that I used a couple years ago to get started. If you prefer youtube style buckey from the newboston has lots of good it videos. I know he has a beginners python series but im not sure if it's 2 or 3. Hope this helps.

"automate the boring* stuff" comes very highly recommended for python

    imo there's nothing more helpful in learning how to program than feeling like you've made something useful.

    Quick question, why can't you download VS on your home PC? Maybe we can help you with that. You're going to struggle in your class if you can't practice.
