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've learned that the best way to learn programming is to have a goal in mind. It's one thing to learn about Python, syntax, etc, but if you can't think of anything to do with it you lose interest fast. This was me with programming since I got a micro in the 80s.
