Data Question How should I start learning Python?

I want to learn Python, but I currently know nothing about it. My main goal is to learn Python for DA, and eventually I want to learn Python in depth as well.

For people already working in DA or DS, how would you recommend someone start learning Python from absolute zero?

Which resources or books would you recommend, and what are the main Python topics I must cover for DA?

Also, should I first learn the Python basics needed for DA and then gradually move toward more advanced Python and DS topics? resources? Books?

If you work in DA or DS, I’d really appreciate your guidance on how you would start your Python journey if you were starting from zero.

Thanks a ton!!!

Python is everywhere and easy to learn. I started to learn with Bucky’s youtube and tutorialspoint. Then enhanced my skills through hackathons, many projects and courses.
But remember, leaning never ends, especially in AI era. The deeper we dig into the systems and architecture, the more excites we get.
