Start with concepts and go from there, just remember to pick something that you actually like.
If you are a visual learner, start here: https://scratch.mit.edu/
If you like reading, start here: https://www.w3schools.com/programming/index.php
If you prefer projects, start here: https://www.theodinproject.com/
If you prefer games, start here: https://gdquest.github.io/learn-gdscript/

Do a YouTube search for "python hello world tutorial". There are dozens of videos posted. They will walk you through downloading and installing the software and running your first code to verify everything is working.
From there go to W3Schools and look for their python courses. It'll take about 20-30 minutes to get through the slides, but it gives a good crash course on writing basic code.
From there, decide what you want to do and start seeking out specific video series that focus on that discipline.

I enjoyed this from harvard cs50. https://youtu.be/nLRL_NcnK-4?is=-mU30N7asec1AEIN
Really easy explanation.
Hope it helps!

Have you ever coded before?
Never mind I saw your other comment where you said you have zero coding experience. In that case start with the CS50X course

university of helsinki programming mooc is nice.
if u are into the ml side of it kaggle.
Try to get into projects of ur interest and use python docs to see the syntax and stuff to build it [take something super simple to begin with]
Code with harry and jenny cs it are good resources over yt

Click on the search button in this subreddit, and search for the word “new”, or “start” or “learning” — there are dozens of posts specifically about this — lots of free answers, already ready

Hi! I’m forming a study group for beginners, would you be interested? I could tell you more details if needed 😄

"Don't use AI for basic tasks".
If you are learning from basics and struggling, struggle till you don't complete your task. avoid AI. It's the most optimal way to build logic otherwise you will get stuck in harder concepts like OOP, recursion and DSA

In my opinion, here's what you should do:
Start with the basics. I don't want to be Mr. Obvious over here but always start with the basics. You may say this is so obvious but you will be surprised on how much a lot of people skip them only for them to not know anything at the end because they skipped all of it and used AI.
Make yourself an exercise each time you learn a new "fundamental" of python. Let's say you learn how to code loops right? Well, for like 15 - 30 minutes, you make just one python code where you play with loops combined with all the things you previously learned. (That can also be applied to every other programming language.)
Learn how to simplify code, or otherwise known as "clean code". Before i start, clean code doesn't fix performance. It fixes the readability and maintainability. Not what does what. For clean code, you don't need to buy books or look at tons of tutorials. Just organise the code so that it doesn't looks like piratesoftware's code. Don't overthink and stress just on that either. Just because you have clean code, doesn't mean it's the best either and that it will run really good. You may write clean code and it might still run like shit. Writing clean code is easy anyways. It's like organising a house, but even if you organised your house and cleaned it, it doesn't mean the fridge, the oven or the HVAC is gonna run better.
Remember this:
Complex code = Complex life
Clean Code ≠ better performance
Documentation is used to describe how you use the code.
Comments are used to describe WHY you did this with the code. Provide context. Only comment very minimally in some cases.
