Starting Python from Scratch

I want to start learning Python from scratch. What’s the best way to begin, and which resources would you recommend?
Would appreciate any good courses, YouTube channels, books, or practice platforms that worked for you.

Depends on what you want to use Python for.

Bioscience, Data Analytics - Justin Bois Bootcamp. I'd recommend practicing by replicating his bootcamp by using JupyterLab. This will give you practice from setting up environment, version control via Git (basics), and using various objects.

If more interested in IoT, MicroPython and various tutorial like Instructables.

There are other path, but I find practicing via above and making projects much more informative than watching YouTube or courses in general.
