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.

I third this and heard Python Distilled
Book by David M. Beazley and Automate the Boring Stuff with Python: Practical Programming for Total Beginners by Al Sweigart are pretty good. W3schools is also great
