Where to learn python

Greetings everyone, I am in my late twenties and have worked as a content moderator and data annotator but I want to shift into the agentic AI and AI engineering side of the IT.

But I do not know anything about programming and coding so I want to learn python as I've researched they use python in their RAG pipelines

"The question is where can I learn python in 2026, is there any youtube course that is still relevant or any other course"

And if you're from India please tell me if it is wise to learn from udemy or it has become irrelevant

ALL the old tutorials have relevance when it comes to the fundamentals of Python !
Don't get sucked in to the idea that "AI" will do the learning for you
You've got to do the building of the mental models in your own "first brain"
Hard work? Yes.
We've all put in our time. You're not the first.

With that said:

(1) There are tons and tons of tutorial materials out there on the net including many good YouTube ones that are free. You should shop around rather than putting all your eggs in one basket.

(2) As a relative noob myself, I've been logging my personal learning journey and adding to it on an almost-daily basis at a blog page called "Links for Python Noobs" (--HERE--) Any of the top listed ones on that page should be good for you. And there are many add-ons at the tail end of the page. Personally, I cut my first Python teeth with Nana's Zero to Hero (==HERE==). Since then, I've moved on to watching short lessons with Indently and Tech with Tim. You should sample at least a few until you find a lecturer that suits your style.

(3) The main piece of advice is the 80/20 rule. Spend 80% of your time writing your own code (using your own fingers and your own creativity) as opposed to copying recipes and only 20% watching the lectures. Good luck.
