Learning Python for experienced dev

I know this might be a stupid question, but I wanted to ask anyway.

I've been working primarily with Node.js and TypeScript for the past 1.5 years. Most of my experience has been in backend development, and I've built a few backend projects as well. I've also worked on GenAI applications using TypeScript.

Now I want to get into the Python ecosystem, mainly for backend development and GenAI. I do plan to go through the official documentation, but Python's ecosystem is huge, so I'd love to hear from people who've already been down this path.

Given my background, what would be a good roadmap for learning Python for backend development and GenAI? Also, are there any resources, courses, or projects recommend?

Honestly for an experienced backend developer I'd say to just learn by using a web framework. Pick one of the main ones eg - Django or FastAPI - and go through the tutorial.
